Requests with an Agreement or Contract

Some order requests require an agreement or contract document(s) be signed and sent with the Purchase Order to the vendor. This is common in cases of software purchases and specific service agreements. These documents should be attached to your OnePurdue order request (shopping cart) and routed to Purchasing Services. If you cannot attach these documents to the shopping cart please forward to Purchasing Services via hard copy (campus mail) or fax at 46609. It is preferred on contracts and agreements to get originals or electronic copies, so faxing should be the last resort on these types of documents.

Once received in

Purchasing, a Purchasing Agent or Contract Analyst (UCG) will review, negotiate (if necessary) and sign the agreement or contract. They will forward the paperwork to the vendor for countersignature and file the fully executed document(s) once returned to Purdue. The fully executed documents will be filed in Central Files.

Note: The University Contracting Group (UCG) and Purchasing Services are the authorized entities on campus for signing agreements and contract.
