Our mission is to foster a vibrant and inclusive business ecosystem at WashU. Through intentional utilization, shared responsibility, and a commitment to fulfilling institutional needs with a broader equity lens, we aim to increase procurement opportunities to qualified businesses, drive community access and collaboration while amplifying our positive impact.
Our Process
Suppliers interested in working with the university should follow these steps:
- Register your business. We will never ask you to upload any personal information (i.e. drivers license, passports, passwords of any kind).
- Receive a phone call from our department. You will receive an email (within 2 weeks of your registration) to schedule a 15-minute phone call to learn more about your company. Registering your business and completing the follow-up phone call does not guarantee business with WashU.
- You will be added to the applicable directory. This will expand your reach not only to those who have purchasing power on WashU’s campus but to our community and nationwide partners.
- Resource Management may share your business information on campus. Should your product or service fit a request made to our department, we will provide your details to the relevant department or school, and they may contact you directly.
- WashU will connect you with on-campus and local partners.
