Saint Louis University Suppliers
The Saint Louis University Department of Purchasing is charged with the responsibility of identifying vendors that SLU as a whole can utilize for its departmental needs.
The department regularly negotiates volume-discount purchasing agreements with vendors. SLU will pursue vendor discounts and volume-purchase agreements based on its educational and nonprofit status and the purchasing level of commonly used products.
Supplier Review Form
The Department of Business Services has created a supplier-review form that will allow departments to review each vendor and leave comments, questions, compliments or concerns. This will allow Business Services to provide feedback for each vendor, allowing them to provide a better service to the University. If you have any questions about the form, please contact Ellen Borowiak at ellen.borowiak@slu.edu.
