DocuSign Vendor Disclosure Statement Process Improvement

In the past, only the vendor could start the DocuSign vendor disclosure statement form (“VDS form”) process.  The primary issue with the past process was that campus partners had no way of knowing when the VDS form had completed which delayed order placement, contracting, or payment.  Effective March 1st, campus partners will start the VDS form process.  By campus partners starting the process, they will receive a completed copy by email from DocuSign when the VDS form has been completed.  The individual who starts the process will need to know the name and email address of the vendor representative that will complete the form.  Additional information about this new process can be found at http://purchasing.ua.edu/vendor-disclosure-statement/.  With input from our campus partners, we are excited to implement this new, more efficient process.
