Single Supplier Waiver Guidance

Procurement are seeing a number of SSW’s attached to PO’s in UBW but they are unsigned. For clarity, the process for Single Supplier Waivers should be :

– Requester completes and obtains approval from relevant departmental/divisional head;
-They are submitted to the Procurement Team central mailbox when the non-Finance stakeholder signatures have been obtained ;
– These will be reviewed and approved by Procurement as appropriate ;
– SSW is returned and added to the order in UBW by requester.

This process ensures that all submitted SSW’s are approved at Department level before they go to Procurement and a minimal number of signatures are then required. It will speed up approvals of PO’s in UBW and prevent delay.
