Procurement Standard Contract Forms Moved to UND Marketplace Request Process

In order to ensure compliance with Department of Labor regulations regarding proper classification of employees, Procurement & Payment Services, in coordination with the Office of Human Resources, is transitioning our standard contract templates for contracting for services from individuals into UND Marketplace. This updated process will also protect UND employees from the risk of acting outside the scope of their employment by ensuring compliance with UND’s delegation of signature authority.

In order to initiate a contract, departments should navigate to the Contracts icon in UND Marketplace, select ‘Requests‘ then ‘Request Contract‘ –

• In order to initiate a contract with a Guest Speaker, Consultant (Individual) or for any other service engagements with a person, Users should select ‘Create Contract‘ and chose ‘Services from an Individual‘.
  • This contract request includes questions designed to ensure that the appropriate engagement (hiring through the Office of Human Resources vs. an agreement with an independent contractor) takes place.

• In order to initiate a contract Consultant (Business Entity) or for any other procurement contracts, Users should select ‘Create Contract‘ and chose ‘Contract Request‘

Contracts will be approved via workflow and routed for signature (in accordance with UND’s signature authority delegation) through UND Marketplace & Docusign. If you have any questions about this process change or need additional information or training, please contact Procurement & Payment Services via und.pps@und.edu.
