Mission Statement
To maximize the resources of the University of Northern British
Columbia through the timely procurement shipping and receiving of
materials, goods, equipment and services ensuring optimum value with
minimum impact on the environment and through consultation with end
users and advisory committees according to the Public Purchasing
Policy, the University of Northern British Columbia Purchasing Policy
and the Law of Competitive Bidding.
The University of Northern British Columbia's centralized Purchasing
Department procures materials, supplies, equipment and services
required by UNBC faculty, staff and researchers.
The Purchasing
Department works under federal and provincial government regulations as
well as the University's Purchasing Policies and Procedures. Please
refer to UNBC's Policies & Procedures web site for further details.
These policies and procedures are guidelines for order placement
depending on the dollar value of the purchase.
The goal of the policies
and procedures is to incorporate sound business practices and to
maximize the benefit of each dollar spent. By adhering to the
Purchasing Policies and Procedures, the end-user can be assured of:
- receiving timely and effective service
- maximizing the University's resources
- reducing potential liabilities and conflict of interest situations
End-users may procure goods or services by four methods:
- petty cash for purchases under $50.00
- UNBC procurement MasterCard
- authorized UNBC purchase order number available only from Purchasing, prior to placing any order
- authorized UNBC service contract available only from Purchasing
To obtain a purchase order number or service, a completed webreq
(signatures, coding and sufficient description of good/service) must be
submitted to Purchasing.
To purchase commonly used chemicals and lab supplies, please contact Chemstores, Dispensing Chemist Eric Bayrd @ (250) 960-6472 or email bayrde@unbc.ca.
