More Contract Activation —
When Everyone's Buying Through the Right Channels
A practical guide for higher education procurement leaders on driving adoption, activating approved contracts, and getting timely visibility into where institutional dollars are going — without replacing the systems you already have.
The Opportunity
- Departments find their own paths when the buying experience doesn’t match the way they prefer to work — that’s not a compliance problem, it’s an access problem
- Negotiated contracts and GPO memberships only create value when buyers can find and use them at the point of purchase
- Quote requests go out before procurement has a chance to review vendor selection, scope, or cost center — and corrections happen after the fact
- The institutions seeing the best results are getting there by making the approved path easier than the workaround, not by adding more policy
What's Inside the Guide
- Why Departments go around procurement — and what actually brings them back
- How to activate negotiated contracts and GPO relationships so buyers can find and use them
- How pre-review gives procurement visibility into quote requests before they go out — without making procurement the bottleneck on every transaction
- How to give leadership timely, meaningful visibility into procurement outcomes
