- Prices and specific information received from suppliers are to be treated in strict confidence and should only be revealed internally on a "need to know" basis.

- Suppliers who out-perform competition in quality, service, assurance of supply, developmental/design contributions and lower costs should be designated as preferred sources and will be given the first opportunity to quote on new University business.
- Whenever problems occur which could jeopardize relations with an established supplier, the supplier involved should be fully advised of such problems and given appropriate time to remedy the situation. Such problems should be brought to the attention of Procurement Services as soon as possible.
