This page provides guidance on purchasing as it relates to consultants, vendors, UT Market and more. Any work that is being performed and paid by or for UT will need to first have a fully executed agreement in place.
Any services procured by UT Austin need to obtain prior approval before any work can start. Not having prior approval can place OADR out of compliance with UT Policy and risk the possibility of providing payment.
Please click on the appropriate PDF guide below to assist. Purchase Order's and Service Agreements are among the most popular methods to procure services. The route will depend on the vendor and other factors.
