Welcome home, Illini! Fall semester begins today and on behalf of the campus community, we wish all our students, new and returning, a great start to the year!

The Purchasing Team was recently honored with the Excellence in Procurement Award at the 2022 National Association of Educational Procurement Annual Meeting in Dallas, Texas. We are so pleased that our efforts to serve the U of I community were recognized at this level.

Requisitions with any of the following must be routed to Purchasing: a signature requirement, terms and conditions, rental agreements, vendor contracts, agreements that go with the order. In the iBuy Purchase Req Form, choose "Yes" on the first question to route appropriately. For more information, visit our website at www.uiucpurchasing.illinois.edu.

The Purchasing and Contracts Management office congratulates all the Illini grads ahead of their commencement events this weekend. Wherever life takes you, you've made your Alma Mater proud.

All requisitions for purchase should come with a quote from the vendor. In some cases, a price list is acceptable. On orders over $10,000, three competitive quotes should be provided to ensure best quality and price.
