Preferred Vendors

A preferred vendor is a unique distinction bestowed on a few suppliers who have demonstrated the best value to Midwestern State University as a result of the competitive bid process.

The purpose of the preferred vendor is to improve customer satisfaction and reduce costs.  Benefits of using a preferred vendor are:

• maximization of overall best value to the University
• ease of ordering
• higher service levels (because these vendors have a stronger commitment to the University)
• prices on contracts are the actual prices departments will pay (savings are realized by the ordering dept.)
• improved pricing benefits everyone
• reduced risk due to improved contract administration
• no bidding required

The Purchasing Department strongly encourages departments to use preferred vendors whenever possible.
