Preferred Suppliers
Preferred Suppliers are providers that Baylor has competitively sourced and negotiated to deliver the best overall value to the University. These agreements establish pricing, terms, and other contractual requirements in advance, making purchasing more efficient and helping departments obtain goods and services at favorable rates.
In accordance with Baylor's Procurement Policy, purchases over $25,000 must be made through a University-contracted supplier or through a competitive sourcing process. The table below identifies Baylor's current Preferred Suppliers and the products and services covered under each agreement.
When a Preferred Supplier is available for your needs, using that supplier is typically the easiest way to comply with University requirements while maximizing value. Purchases initiated through Ignite are routed through the appropriate procurement and approval workflows automatically.
Not every category of goods or services is covered by a preferred agreement. When a Preferred Supplier cannot meet a specific requirement, Procurement Services can assist in identifying qualified suppliers, conducting a competitive solicitation, and selecting the solution that best meets your business needs.
