Vendors and Suppliers

As a publically-funded institution, UVic is bound by the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), between Canada and the European Union; the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), between Canadian provinces and territories; and the New West Partnership Trade Agreeement, between British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

In short, this means that UVic holds public competitions for most major procurements and projects, and conducts all business in a fair and transparent manner.

You can find most of UVic's solicitations for bids on BC Bid and MERX.

Most low-value items are acquired through UVic's Commercial Card (C Card) program, at the discretion of individual departments and cardholders.
