Supplier Enablement Strategy • Purchasing Services identified key suppliers • Target supplier list derived from a recently completed university-wide spend analysis • Analysis driven by University’s faculty and staff buying habits, pricing and overall importance to the University’s mission • Supplier participation requires establishment of new or renegotiated “preferred supplier” pricing agreement • Penn specific catalog content development based on mutually agreed upon product offering and previous Penn purchase history • Suppliers required to provide content to SciQuest, Penn’s eProcurement business partner
