UC Procurement and the Law

UC has many complex policies that guide our procurement and buying at the systemwide and campus levels. Interactive presentations by subject matter experts and case studies from systemwide procurement team members will deepen our understanding beyond the written policies. We’ll explore practical applications of several policies and leave with ways to apply them to our own work.
