Access

Procurement and Disbursement Services manages the acquisition, delivery and payment for the supplies, equipment and services required to support the educational, research and patient care missions of Vanderbilt University.

Procurement Services is responsible for overseeing the commercial relationships between Vanderbilt University and our suppliers and insuring that all aspects of our relationships are held to the highest ethical and professional standards. Our suppliers contribute significantly to the ongoing success of Vanderbilt University and we in turn actively support our suppliers and help them achieve their objectives. The Supplier Diversity Program, which promotes business with small, disadvantaged and diversity owned businesses, is one example of this support.

Procurement and Disbursement Services is also leading the conversion to modern eCommerce purchasing technologies including electronic ordering and invoicing using our eProcurement system. Future business growth will be with those suppliers who embrace eCommerce as part of their customer service strategy.

As a private, non-profit higher education institution, Vanderbilt University is not required to disclose contracts, RFP documents, proposals or other related documents to outside parties. All such materials are considered confidential.
