Objectives and Responsibility

The objective of Purchasing is to look after your needs. We want to provide you with the goods or services you require, on a timely basis, at the lowest cost possible and on a continually reliable basis. We would like to ensure an economical use of College funds, ensure ethical buying practices, maintain good supplier relationships and ensure compliance with the regulations governing taxes, accounting procedures and other related College polices.

Ethical Conduct

Each member of the College community is a representative of this institution and the way each individual conducts business impacts on the Colleges ability to engage in future business relationships. It is our duty to promote this organization as one that deals equitably with all current or potential suppliers.  We can accomplish this by:

    • Giving vendors a full and courteous hearing. 
    • Maintaining open and fair competition between suppliers. 
    • Being honest and truthful in all inferences and statements. 
    • Never benefitting from the errors of our suppliers. 
    • Treating all communication with vendors as confidential. 

Purchase Requisition Form
A Purchase Order Number must be obtained when goods or services are ordered by an authorized representative of King’s University College.  Please complete a Purchase Requisition and submit it to Purchasing to obtain a Purchase Order Number.

Please be aware that invoices sent to King’s University College must reference a valid Purchase Order Number to ensure prompt payment within the terms of the supplier.  If a valid P.O. number is not properly referenced, processing delays may occur or the invoice may be returned.
