Vendors of Record & Common Purchases
Important notice: Financial Services has been informed that malicious actors are posing as TMU purchasing employees and contacting external vendors. Learn more about this information security incident.
Vendors of record are organizations pre-qualified to supply goods or services for a defined period, with fair and equitable pricing pre-negotiated for the university. We strongly recommended taking advantage of our partnerships.
When multiple vendors supply the same goods or services, your vendor selection should be made in compliance with the university's Purchasing Policy and Purchasing Procedure.

Becoming a vendor of record
Vendors can be considered a vendor of record for TMU only when they have responded to a public procurement opportunity and have been prequalified by the university, and established a signed agreement.
Public procurement opportunities
TMU strives for openness, fairness and transparency in our procurement processes where goods and services are procured in a competitive environment.
In accordance with public policy and provincial requirements, all of the university’s competitive bid opportunities are posted to MERX (external link) , an electronic public sector tendering system that is accessible to all suppliers.
