Purchasing and Procurement

(effective 1/1/07)

Purchases for goods and services over $250 must be made through a purchase order. If the purchase is for less than $250, a purchase order may still be used but it is not mandatory; however, all purchases of airline/train tickets are booked online directly through an agent. 

Office supplies are to be ordered from Staples. Online ordering for Staples is available and should be utilized as much as possible. If online ordering is not used, the Staples order form must be forwarded to Finance. Please contact Office of Procurement for more information about online ordering. Purchases of memberships, subscriptions and conference registrations do not need to be done on a purchase order; a check request is sufficient as long as the appropriate documentation is attached.

All furniture or capital purchases require approval from the Director of Purchasing or the Director of Facilities and Operations.

Before purchasing or committing to purchase goods or services, please review the most up-to-date Purchasing Policy at http://www.lesley.edu/services/finance/po.html
