To ensure all purchases are processed and received within this fiscal year (March 31, 2026), please submit all purchase requisitions (“PRs”) no later than Friday, January 30, 2026. If you anticipate any essential purchases, please plan and communicate with Procurement Services as early as possible.
You can contact Procurement Services at procurement@ufv.ca.
Procurement Services will make every effort; however, we cannot guarantee we will be able to give priority to PRs received after Friday, January 30, 2026.
Please note, the UFV receiving date of the goods dictates the year in which the transaction is recorded. Goods received or services provided after March 31, 2026, will be charged to the following fiscal year 2026/2027 budget.
When Procurement Services issues your purchase order, if we are advised by a supplier that they cannot guarantee delivery by fiscal year end, Procurement Services will notify the requester.
The purchase of goods and services at UFV is the responsibility of Procurement Services. While there are specific exceptions (notably library, bookstores and travel and business expenses) you should assume that procurement policies apply to you. As the public procurement landscape continues to evolve with greater emphasis on transparency and accountability, UFV must maintain high legal, ethical, and professional standards in its purchasing practices.
The overarching objective of Procurement Services is to acquire goods and services in a manner that results in the best overall value to UFV. The main approach in meeting this goal is the selection of suppliers through open, fair, transparent and non-discriminatory practices that are in compliance with Canada’s competitive bidding laws and trade agreements. Please refer to UFV's Purchasing Policy for a complete overview of procurement policies and your responsibilities.
