March 16, 2009 - Supply Management (purchasing)
In February 2009, the Office of Supply Management Services implemented the new University Policy 3.25, Procurement of Goods and Services, as well as a complementary Buying Manual.
The new policy incorporates the following previously issued policies: University Policy 3.5, Paying for Services (Independent Contractor/Consultants); University Policy 3.5.1, Service Provider Payments (Independent Contractor/Consultants), Weill Cornell Medical College; and University Policy 3.12, Procurement Card. It supports the appropriate stewardship of Cornell’s assets by establishing best practices for procuring goods and services that comply with applicable laws and regulations, university policies, and sound and ethical business management. It formalizes existing procurement practices, and sets forth new requirements for utilizing preferred suppliers and for using e-SHOP as the procurement method for enabled suppliers, which will be required after implementation support is established on July 1, 2009.
