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 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.
