The University enters into special agreements with many suppliers who offer GW "best value" for its money. In this context, "best value" does not always mean the lowest price, but a combination of price, pre-and post-sales support, and special delivery, finance, or warranty terms. All of these selected suppliers (see left sidebar links) extend some type of preferential terms and/or prices to GW. GW employees are strongly encouraged to choose from these specially contracted suppliers when purchasing goods and services. When using one of the suppliers, please note that a master agreement has been negotiated with terms and pricing favorable to GW, and no further contract is required. Payment for orders against these agreements can be made via P-Card or Purchase Order, however temporary staffing services should always be paid via a requisition release on the Blanket Purchase Order listed under each provider.
