Supply Partners
Purchasing Services, and its supply business partners under the
auspices of the University's
Division of Business Services,
manage the University's procure-to-pay process and over $1 billion of annual purchase
of construction, equipment, supplies, travel, print and design, and service
requirements.
Our supply partners work hard to ensure that the products and services we purchase
meet the unique needs of the faculty and staff we serve. We partner with suppliers
in many product categories and that range from multi-national corporations to small
locally based businesses. Maintaining a diverse mix of qualified suppliers is the key
to our success. We rely on our suppliers to provide the products and services our
customers want and expect.
Our BEN Buys online procure-to-pay system,
along with the Penn Marketplace, makes
purchasing easy for faculty and staff, increases administrative efficiencies and
operational performance - all for the express purpose of providing the highest
standards of customer service and support, at least total cost, to increase the value
of every dollar of funding. The Penn Travel
Portal provides access to all travel information so that you can have options
and make informed decisions. The Travel Portal is the "go to" place for
information on Penn preferred travel suppliers, savings opportunities, travel
information, payment options and much more.
Process efficiencies and cost savings achieved as a result of innovative supply
chain strategies produce significant Return-on-Investment (ROI)
that goes straight to the institution's bottom line and can be used to support other
critical investments.
Our supply chain accomplishments are recognized
in the industry and result in prestige for Penn. This commitment to procurement
excellence and cost effective supply chain services fulfills a primary directive of
our Mission: &quout;to steward the resources entrusted to us."
