Western has joined the Education Advisory Board, a research based organization providing best practices and bench-marking data in several functional areas. Following seminars on Disciplining University Spend, Western joined the University Spend Collaborative which supports universities to analyse their procurement data and support the negotiation of lower prices, eliminate contract overpayments, increase contract compliance and hopefully even change end-user product choices. This project will involve significant cultural change and will require the support of all levels of the institution to achieve the desired results. The program starts in the fall of 2010 and will take several years to complete.

Through RFP York University participated in several OECM sourcing initiatives; however, only one contract met the requirements of the University (Natural Gas). Of the others that Xxxx participated in (photocopiers and RFQ processesoffice supplies) greater savings and process efficiencies were offered by existing contracts with the Ministry of Government Services. Other sourcing initiatives did not meet Xxxx’s requirements (e.g. the copy paper contract did not allow for desk-top delivery – a requirement as York does not have centralized shipping/receiving). Although Xxxx also participated in the office furniture sourcing initiative, OECM cancelled the process as a failed bid. We are currently participating on the desktop and notebook sourcing initiative, however, this process is still in progress.
