Please consider how this new functionality can enhance departmental procurement processes while ensuring all purchases through this program comply with UC policies and procedures and low value thresholds. The goal of this new program is to simplify the department purchasing process by taking advantage of Amazon’s wide product selection and competitive prices while enhancing controls by providing warning messages on products that should be procured using another UC agreement, restricting certain items that are not traditionally business related, and enabling access to product and spend analytics to improve support to the campus. The session will be recorded and posted on Procurement’s website for future reference. Look for the Webex invite from Amazon Business.
