Supplier Onboarding
and Management
At Rutgers, our Procurement Services team is dedicated to fostering strong, transparent, and mutually beneficial relationships with our suppliers and partners. We strive to ensure that all purchasing activities support the university’s mission of excellence in education, research, and public service.
We invite you to explore each section to better understand how we work together to build a vibrant, ethical, and inclusive supply chain community.
Become a Supplier
Although Rutgers does not maintain a formal process for becoming a supplier, those interested in doing business with the university are encouraged to contact the appropriate departments. Supplier relationships are generally established at the departmental level based on specific needs. Suppliers are typically invited by a department before becoming established suppliers.
Receiving Payments
Rutgers standard payment terms depend on the payment method; unless the supplier has a signed contract with different terms, any exception to these terms must be reviewed and approved by Procurement. Requests must originate from a Rutgers unit head and not the supplier. All requests must be submitted to the Procurement Help Desk.
Terms and Conditions
Rutgers’ purchasing Terms and Conditions outline the standards and requirements that govern all supplier relationships. These policies ensure fair, transparent, and compliant business practices that uphold the university’s commitment to integrity and accountability.
