Partner Engagement
The Partner Engagement program is a part of the Buying Blue program and acts as a forum for two-way communication of current procurement activities and future opportunities for sourcing events and cost savings initiatives.
Procurement Services aims to increase collaboration and informational opportunities by regularly meeting with individual department leadership stakeholders interested in discussing their purchasing activity.
The program will provide department-specific procurement reviews to discuss current and upcoming activities and cost-saving initiatives.
