| The Purchasing Policy adopted by the Board in March 1998 and revised in January 2003, governs the concept of centralized purchasing in accordance with authorized procedures and within authorized budgets. |
| Policy Highlights: |
- To encourage open and competitive bidding on the acquisition of all goods and services.
- To procure the right goods and services in an efficient and cost effective manner.
- To operate a centralized purchasing program.
- To solicit verbal quotations for purchases up to $3,000.
- To solicit written quotations for purchases in excess of $3,000.
- To issue formal quotations, tenders and requests for proposals for purchases in excess of $30,000.

| Our user departments play a vital role in the procurement process by carefully planning their requirements, providing detailed specifications and working with us throughout the purchasing process in order to comply with the Policy. Please be aware that teachers and Board staff, other than the Purchasing Administrator or delegate, are not authorized to commit the Board to any purchase. When a purchase order is signed, it signifies that the transaction is the best one that can be made for the Board. Our Board, its Committees, the Auditors and indeed the Public, expect this. |
| Vendor Lists |
| The Purchasing Department sources a broad area to receive the best possible value for the millions of dollars worth of goods and services purchased every year. We are eager to select vendors who are responsive, committed to product quality, on time delivery, financial stability and innovative thinking. Vendors may complete a Vendor Information Form, which is available by accessing the Vendor Information menu or by clicking here. |
