Best Supplier

When a department knows which items need to be ordered but is unsure of the supplier, a Procurement buyer can process the Purchase Order. To route the purchase requisition to Procurement, select Best Supplier as the supplier. When using Best Supplier, provide a detailed description of the items being purchased and include the appropriate departmental contact for the Buyer to discuss your requirements.

Best Supplier requisitions must be entered on a Non-Catalog form.

Enter your line-item information and best estimate of the price.

The selection of the Fulfillment Address will default to VT Purchasing (Procurement) Department.

Add Non-Catalog Item Fulfillment Address Default to VT Purchasing Department

Complete the requisition.
