Procurement Value $0 to $9,999 (EXCLUDING TAXES)

All purchases are subject to budget availability and suppliers are not to provide goods, services, consulting or construction until a valid purchase order has been supplied to the supplier. Departments may obtain quotes in this threshold.

Steps:

1. Requesting department must ensure adequate budget (via Self-Service or Ellucian) and consult with potentially affected departments.
2. Requesting department must obtain LU Code (required over $5000 including taxes).
3. Single written quotation from a supplier is required from requesting department. Quotation (Supporting documentation) is to be sent to Purchasing@laurentian.ca . Ontario Businesses are to be utilized and preferred wherever feasible/possible.
4. Requisition is to be placed in Ellucian by requesting department for awarded supplier.
5. Requisition is to be approved by budget holder of requesting department. Financial Services will approve requisition after requesting department has approved.
6. Procurement reviews quotation once the requisition is approved by Finance.
7. Once PO is sent to supplier, requesting department may proceed in engaging in goods, services, consulting and construction from supplier.

If the quote is not from an Ontario or Canadian vendor, Procurement applies a Non-Ontario Business Justification Form and rationale as to why an Ontario or Canadian vendor was not selected.

VISA may be used ONLY for purchases $0-2999 INCLUDING TAXES. If vendor will not accept VISA, a requisition is required.
