Suppliers & Partners
Coming your way starting February 2023: a new Supplier Request form and process! The Supplier Request process has now been streamlined to transfer the burden of supplier follow-up from you to the UPST.
Some major objectives of the new process include:
- Improve campus/supplier experience
- Reduce end-to-end supplier request processing cycle time
- Streamline supplier process by putting UPST immediately after submission to drive end-to-end process
- One intake form for supplier requests irrespective of supplier type (domestic entity, individual, foreign suppliers, employees, and students)
- Reduce errors, duplicates and invitation volume
- Increase visibility on supplier onboarding and usage - supplier dashboard
Some important dates for each campus:
- February 13th – rollout for Boston, Dartmouth, and the President’s office
- February 27th – rollout for Lowell and UMass Chan
- March 13th – rollout for Amherst
