A recent information session focusing on procurement policies and procedures received significant interest from the McMaster community.

 

The Research Office for Administration, Development and Support (ROADS) and Health Research Services (HRS) are therefore offering an additional session for those previously unable to attend. All McMaster personnel are welcome.

 

Are you:

  buying equipment or services through university accounts?
 
interested in getting the best "bang for your buck"?

 

Cynthia Shanahan, Director, Purchasing Resources, will help you learn the tricks of the trade and traps to avoid.  Presentation will cover:

 

     NEW Legislative changes affecting procurement in the Broader Public Sector;
    
McMaster policies covering purchasing and public bidding thresholds and processes;
    
Definitions, single source justifications and best value versus low bid;
    
Intangible purchases, Requests for Proposals and procurement of consultants and
services 

 

If you have specific areas you would like to be addressed, please forward to Cynthia at shanahc@mcmaster.ca prior to September 30th.
