Procurement Transformation Updates

A new website and more!

At UVA, procurement is more than purchasing goods and services; it’s a vital part of advancing our mission in education, research, and patient care. Through the Procurement Transformation project, we’re reimagining how the University sources, contracts, and partners with suppliers to make the process simpler, more transparent, and better aligned with our shared goals.

What’s going on with the project lately?

New Website Now Live

We’re excited to share the launch of our new Procurement Transformation website.

This site is your source for project updates, timelines, team information, and resources. Bookmark the page to stay current on everything happening within this multi-year initiative.

Infrequent Payee Module: Pilot Progress and Demo Recording

A key part of this transformation is simplifying how we onboard individuals who have short-term or infrequent relationships with the University for payment. To support this, we’ve built a new Infrequent Payee module within Workday.

Last month, we launched a pilot to test the module, and we’re pleased to share that testing has gone smoothly. On Thursday, October 23, at 10 a.m., the project team offered a live demonstration of the tool in action.

If you missed it, you can watch the recording on the new Procurement Transformation site (link to follow).

A big thank-you to the schools and units who have participated in the pilot and provided valuable feedback. If your area would like to take part in an expanded pilot, please contact us at askfinance@virginia.edu.

Looking Ahead

As the Procurement Transformation continues, we’ll keep sharing updates and resources to support our partners across Grounds. Together, we’re building a procurement experience that’s modern, people-centered, and mission-driven: one that helps the University make the most of every resource in service to our shared goals.
