Procurement Process Workflow

The document outlines Western University's procurement processes for consulting services, goods, and non-consulting services. For purchases under $100,000, it describes using an invitational competitive procurement process by inviting 3 bidders for consulting services. For goods and non-consulting services under $25,000, an informal process is used where the vendor of choice is selected. For high-value purchases over $100,000, an open competitive procurement process must be used. The core workflows involve identifying needs, planning, requirements, quotes/bids, evaluation, agreements and award notifications for competitive, non-competitive, and informal purchase processes.
