FAQs
Back to TopWhen should I request a BPO?
Contact us as soon as you have determined a contract will need to be signed. We can provide guidance depending upon the complexity and/or the dollar amount of the contract.
Who should negotiate and sign a contract?
Only UW Procurement Services may sign a contract/agreement/MOU on behalf of any UW unit. While contract negotiation requires departmental content area expertise, the contract language itself should be formulated and approved by Procurement Services.
