Business Services and University of Nebraska Procure-To-Pay collaborate with departments to draft, review, execute and maintain contracts in accordance with all applicable Federal, State of Nebraska, and University policies. In compliance with these policies, a contract is considered any engagement or agreement between the University and another party(s) in relation to any act. While requirements of the various types of contracts may vary, Business Services and Procure-To-Pay will collaborate with all departments to ensure their needs and expectations are met while ensuring a clear, detailed, and beneficial agreement is created between all external, campus partners.
Effective July 1, 2022, all expense contracts and agreements are required to be processed through the Procure-To-Pay (P2P) organization and applicable processes. The P2P organization and processes ensure all expense contracts across the University of Nebraska system are reviewed, processed, and executed in a consistent and compliant manner. It is crucial for departments to contact P2P as soon as an event, relationship, or other arrangements involving contractual agreements are being discussed and planned.
In compliance with LB429 Taxpayer Transparency Act, P2P uploads all University expense contracts to the Nebraska State Contracts Database.
