Strategic Sourcing

As a division of resource management, we are focused on the supply chain activities for the Medical Center. Within strategic sourcing, different teams exist to meet the needs of our internal customers and external partners, including purchasing, contract administration, and resource management information systems.

Purchasing

The purchasing team is responsible for ensuring that all requisitions for supplies, equipment, and services are issued to vendors and fulfilled in a timely manner.  The purchasing team is aligned by department to ensure each department has a single point of contact for day-to-day procurement activities.

Capital equipment purchasing is focused on the procurement and contracting for large capital purchases. Purchasing agents ensure equipment purchased complies with organizational equipment standards and specifications for interoperability with systems already in use.

Contract Administration

Contracting is responsible for ensuring that long-term and competitive agreements for supplies, services, and equipment are reached between the Medical Center and vendors. Requests for Proposal (RFP’s) and Requests for Quote (RFQ’s) are routinely conducted by contracting team to solicit competitive pricing and service from vendors. Agreements for new products and services are coordinated between Contracting, Value Analysis, and appropriate end-users.
