Procurement has developed a new Bid Waiver Request form to allow departments to more fully explain those instances where an exception to policy is being requested. As you may know, Contracts for the purchase of supplies, equipment or the services of independent contractors requiring the expenditure of budgeted funds in excess of $25,000 shall be awarded on the basis of competitive bids.
The form is located on the Procurement’s website

FY 2012 General Fund Requisition and COR Transactions
As year-end approaches, timely departmental approvals of WayneBuy on-line Requisitions and CORs are critical to accurate and expedient fiscal year-end processing. To be reasonably assured that General Fund (indexes beginning with the digit 1) Requisitions (WayneBuy Catalog and non-Catalog reqs.) and CORs (WayneBuy Change Order Request Form) relating to the current fiscal year (October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012) result in posted activity against a unit’s FY 2012 operating budget, it is necessary that all departments and units “submit” WayneBuy Requisitions by Friday, August 24, 2012 and CORs by September 21, 2012.

OSDOS is Shutting Down
WayneBuy was successfully launched on June 25, 2012 to the University campus, and the last day to submit Banner Requisitions and Change Order Requests (CORs) was July 13, 2012.
|
As of August 31, 2012, we will be officially shutting down the 3 B2B direct order systems. Far and away, the most popular one was the OSDOS program with OfficeMax. Programs also were in place for Fisher Scientific and VWR. Now that WayneBuy is operational, departments will find the WayneBuy experience for placing orders with these key suppliers even faster than before.

In Process Requisitions will be Purged from Banner
With the successful launch of WayneBuy, Procurement is working with C&IT to identify all in process (“I” status) Banner requisitions in an effort to remove them. Access to these Requisitions was eliminated as of July 16, 2012.
|
If you believe you have a Requisition in Banner that still needs to be processed, send an e-mail to Paula Reyes to let her know the Req. number, and efforts will be made to convert it to a WayneBuy Requisition for you. Paula can be reached at 313-577-3649.

We will continue to send out notices to the campus community as new agreements are put into place and as new information becomes available related to WayneBuy.
To remove yourself from the WayneBuy listserv, send an e-mail to listserv@lists.wayne.eduwith the following command in the body of the email: signoff waynebuy
