PROCUREMENT
Procurement of goods and services for the university must be conducted in an open and
competitive environment to ensure that prices paid are fair and reasonable. Purchasing activities
are conducted in central Procurement Services as well as by academic and administrative
departmental employees. Purchasing activities include obligations for proper transaction
documentation, fiscal responsibility, ethical behavior, adherence to federal and state government
regulations, and compliance with university By-laws and policies.
Procurement Services provides support to the university community in the selection, acquisition,
use and disposal of goods and services by:
 Maximizing the university’s purchasing power by focusing on strategic sourcing and
obtaining the best value
 Leveraging its expertise in contract negotiations and supplier management to advantage
the university
 Streamlining processes and investing in new technologies to provide administrative
efficiencies.
 Ensuring that purchases are made in accordance with all applicable university By-laws,
laws, regulations, codes, and ordinances
 Minimizing risk exposure while maintaining flexibility in procurement activity

Facilities Management and Planning is committed to providing quality service related to
the construction, operation, cleaning and utilization of the University’s facilities. We work with
the University community, and external organizations to develop and improve methods and
strategies utilized to meet the needs of our community. To protect University facilities, faculty,
staff, students and visitors, it is necessary for Facilities Management and Planning to establish
and/or administer a large number of policies and procedures related primarily to the construction,
alteration and operation of facilities.
From time to time these policies will be revised and new ones will be added. We will inform the
University community of changes through postings on this web site, Today at Carleton and This
is Carleton publications.
Maintenance of facilities and equipment in good working condition is essential to achieve
specified level of quality and reliability and efficient working. Plant maintenance is an important
service function of an efficient production system. It helps in maintaining and increasing the
operational efficiency of plant facilities and thus contributes to revenue by reducing the
operating costs and increasing the effectiveness of production.
