Instructions for York University
While these vendors are not classified as vendors of record (VOR) and have not undergone a competitive process to be added to a VOR list, you are encouraged to consider these businesses for your procurement needs.
If a University Vendors of Record (VOR) category exists for the goods and/or services that you are looking for, you must consult the VOR first.
Community members are reminded that the following list is subject to Strategic Procurement Services’ spending thresholds to determine best value:
Under $25,000 | Between $25,000 - $50,000 | Over $50,000 |

Check to determine whether a vendor of record exists for your purchase. | You must obtain 3 quotes. It is our preference that you solicit quotes from the Social Procurement Vendor List as much as possible. Use the Vendor Quote Solicitation Form | Please submit a Competitive Bid Request form to Strategic Procurement Services. |
If you have any questions about using the list, Procurement Trade Agreement exemptions or York’s Social Procurement policy and how it could apply to your purchase, please send an email to Brent Brodie at bbrodie@yorku.ca
