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.
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
If you are looking for a specific vendor to provide goods and/or services, please reach out to the Purchasing Office for assistance.
