Procurement and Compliance
Procurement and Compliance Heading link
The Business Services procurement team sources and procures goods and services for non-capital projects that allow OVCAS departments to perform their missions. Working collaboratively with them and with UIC Purchasing and Contract Management, our staff ensures that purchases are appropriate, cost-effective and comply with university policies and procedures. The team also reconciles all purchases made by corporate card.
Business Services’ Assistant Director for Procurement Compliance manages the contracting, bid, sole sourcing, Requests for Proposals, and Requests for Information programs for all OVCAS units to ensure that the processes complete within regulatory guidelines while meeting OVCAS needs. Working closely with designated contract monitors, this function provides additional oversight to maintain compliance during the term of each contract.
