Administrative Review - Strategic Procurement

Overview:

The goal of this Administrative Review for Strategic Procurement is to improve procurement efficiency and services and to identify procurement-related cost savings so they may be invested in teaching, research and public service.  This effort is in keeping with Directive III.f of the goals and directives recently adopted by the Board of Trustees as well as the subsequent directions of the Trustees and the Chancellor.  The effort began in June, 2012, and is expected to make a report at the end of calendar year 2012 to the Steering Committee designated by the Trustees and Chancellor to oversee this and other ongoing administrative review efforts.  This page will be updated from time to time.  Thank you.
