A University of Miami Vendor application must be completed and will be held on file until a University department indicates that good and/or services are required from a vendor. Goods and services must only be provided after a University of Miami purchase order number or a University PCard number have been provided.

University policy prohibits our employees and members of their immediate family from accepting gifts or travel incentives from those companies supplying goods or services to the University. We include in the definition of a gift the use of entertainment, property or personal facilities for weekends, vacations or any other reason. See Conflict of Interest and Code of Ethics for more info.

Vendors are encouraged to negotiate agreements with the University which provide favorable terms and conditions such as special pricing, delivery, and payment terms. The University expects the pricing and terms to be extended to all of its schools and administrative offices.

Once a business relationship has been established, the University expects agreement terms to be honored at all times.
