Part of the Purchasing Departments mission is to ensure that Stakeholders (e.g., general business community, targeted group businesses, citizens of Washington State , etc.) are considered in all purchasing policies and practices. This section of the Purchasing Departments web site is here for your use. In it you should find helpful resources for all vendors that do business with, or are interested in doing business with, Central Washington University.
The Central Washington University Purchasing Office administers procurement procedures and issues purchase orders for all university departments. Facilities Management has the responsibility for all requests for services, which are determined to be Public Works, such as construction and real estate contracts.
Washington 's Electronic Business Solution is an Internet vendor registration and bid notification system that CWU participates in. The system offers one online site where vendors can register to receive government bid notifications. CWU will be posting bid opportunities and amendments, and you the vendor, will be able to register and receive e-mail notification of bidding opportunities from not only CWU but other participating agencies of the State of Washington. There is no cost to participate in the vendor registration and bid notification system.
