Selling to the University of Virginia
Join us as the University of Virginia Procurement and Supplier Diversity Team explains the process to doing business across grounds.
Background
What is Procurement and Supplier Diversity?
- Procurement is the process of purchasing goods or services, usually in reference to business spending. Business procurement requires preparation, solicitation, and payment processing, which usually involves several areas of a company
- Supplier diversity is a business strategy aimed at developing a more inclusive base of suppliers when procuring goods and services. This benefits the suppliers themselves and the broader business ecosystem and society.
