RU Marketplace
, the University's new procurement system, is live!
RU Marketplace makes it easier than ever to buy goods and services and pay our suppliers and vendors. Managing all procurement transactions for academic, clinical, and business needs can now be done through a single online system. The new streamlined RU Marketplace helps requestors and approvers track the progress of requisitions, open purchase orders, and invoice approvals and payments.
Partnering with preferred suppliers and making purchases at prices that are consistent across the University will lead to better shopping experiences for faculty and staff, cost savings, and better payment terms with our suppliers.
