Businesses sought, Procurement Supplier Diversity Development Initiative

Posted by Drexel University on August 10, 2015

Join Drexel’s Procurement Supplier Diversity Development Initiative

The initiative is designed to support Drexel University’s goal of being recognized as the “most civic minded institution in the country” while ensuring the inclusion of local community based and diversity owned suppliers who are interested in establishing a business relationship with the University’s Procurement Services department.

The required diversity certifications, service and business capabilities, and expectations of delivering the level of client service and support are outlined in Supplier Engagement Process to ease the initial interaction between the supplier and Procurement Services.
