The Procurement Process

Once you have found a TTUHSC buyer (customer) for your product / service...

Submit a request to vendorteam@ttuhsc.edu with the email contact at your company who can submit an online application via PaymentWorks. Ensure this contact has access to corporate and banking information details to become an active vendor. PaymentWorks adds fraud protection, invoice payment status, and ease of vendor information management for you and our team to better collaborate.

Submit a Written Quote

Most departments will require a written quote be submitted by your business (either on company letterhead or in an email). Written quotes lessen the probability for misunderstanding and benefit all parties involved. Be sure to prepare a quote that considers both the needs of your business and your TTUHSC customer. If you are in doubt about anything, please ask. As an example, most good quotes include:

  • A description of the scope of work to be performed (or products to be sold) and other applicable specifications;
  • Pricing and delivery schedule / timeframe.

Reference GPO/COOP/TTUHSC contract number on quote (if applicable)

The department will issue a Purchase Order (PO) through the TTUHSC TechBuy System

The PO is TTUHSC's reply to your quote and serves as the "ok" to begin work. Be sure to get a copy of the PO from TTUHSC (prior to beginning any work) and review all terms, conditions, etc.

Do not begin work without a copy of the PO. This is TTUHSC's acknowledgement, contract, and commitment for the work.

Complete Order, submit invoice

Upon completion of work (or at agreed upon intervals) you must submit an invoice in order to be paid. Be sure to reference the PO number on all invoices. All invoices should be submitted directly to Accounts Payable. Texas Tech University Health Science Center is exempt from paying sales tax.
