Purchasing Day at the Enterprise Center

The University Purchasing Initiative, a collaborative effort between Purchasing Services, Drexel University Procurement Services, and the Pennsylvania Minority Business Enterprise Center (PA MBEC), is designed to increase interaction between suppliers and University purchasing representatives. Since its inception in July 2006, the University Purchasing Initiative has been expanded to other members of the Philadelphia Area Collegiate Cooperative (PACC). One of the components of the University Purchasing Initiative is "Purchasing Day at the Enterprise Center".

Hosted by the Enterprise Center in West Philadelphia and sponsored by PA MBEC, the Purchasing Day event provides diversity suppliers with an opportunity to meet decision makers from local University purchasing departments. An informal setting allows potential buyers and sellers to meet, discuss business opportunities, review supplier capabilities and buyer requirements, and develop action plans for future business relationships.

Diversity suppliers interested in participating in a future Purchasing Day at the Enterprise Center event should contact Jaqueline Hill at PA MBEC at (215) 895-4032.
