buyND - e-Procurement @ Notre Dame

On July 1, 2004, an initiative was launched by Procurement Services to bring about significant improvements to procurement processes across campus, consistent with the departmental mission of stewardship of University resources. At the core of the effort is e-Procurement technology from HigherMarkets, a division of SciQuest, Inc.

The system is designed to give campus users quick, simple, and convenient access to negotiated contract pricing with strategic suppliers. In addition, business-to-business capabilities will link Notre Dame with its suppliers directly via the Internet, allowing orders to be placed accurately and securely.

Campus users can visit the buyND website for additional resources.

e-Sourcing

The University also uses the buyND Sourcing Manager system to electronically issue requests for bids (RFB), requests for information (RFI), and conduct reverse auctions. In addition, the Sourcing Manager system is also used for supplier registration.

Suppliers can visit the "For Suppliers" section on our website for more information.
