#  Procurement Updates with B2P Rollout 

 





April 28, 2020

 

 

 There is a new addendum to the University Procurement Policy that notes that debarment forms will only be required for purchases on federal contracts equal to or greater than $25,000. The effective date of this addendum, 4/27/20, is to comply with the Buy-to-Pay (B2P) go-live date for cohort 0. Visual Compliance runs daily checks in the Supplier Portal, which will suffice for debarment regulations regarding grants and cooperative agreements.

 The following updates to the [OSP Procurement Guidance](/procurement) have been posted:

- [Policy Addendum](https://policies.fad.harvard.edu/procurement) dated 4/27/20 (on Procurement website)
