New Office Supply Procurement Policy

by Public Relations | May 11, 2012 | Faculty, Staff

Effective May 20, 2012, Canisius College is implementing a revised policy for the procurement of office supplies. Key features of this new policy are as follows:

• In an effort to contain costs, the selection available for office supplies is limited to a list of standardized items. Flexibility and deviation from the approved list is available when alternate supply items are required and justified. Details may be found in the procurement policy.
• Integrity Office Supply Company is designated as the exclusive office supply dealer for Canisius College. Purchasing office supplies from other sources or vendors is not permitted after May 20, 2012. Integrity’s website is www.ecinteractive.com/5508
• Access to the office supply dealer’s website is limited to the approved buyers identified by the controller’s office as the primary buyer for their specific department.
• Training sessions will be scheduled on a date and time to be determined. Access to a tutorial video and training site will be made available to all approved buyers. Buyers will receive an email from Integrity with access codes and links to the training materials. Users can then begin using the site immediately.
• Pricing listed on the website will match the price on the invoice.
• Credit cards will not be accepted for payment. Buyers will provide their budget index number and all invoicing will be handled through the controller’s office.
• No shipping charges will be added.
• Next day delivery to your office will be standard with a liberal return policy.

Please contact Gary Lew in Facilities or Ron Haberer in the Controller’s office with any questions.
