Contracts/Agreements FAQ
Contracts that require approval and signature by the college.
Before requesting a signature, have you followed the required procurement process (Purchasing 101 – Requisition Buying Guide)? Once all requirements have been met, have the supplier sign the contract first. Email the signed contract to the Procurement Office at purchasing@palmbeachstate.edu. Your contract will be submitted to the Vice President of Finance & Administration for signature, then returned to you. Once fully executed, attach it to a Requisition in Workday to request an order for the services and/or goods.
When typing a Performer Agreement, can I use the owners name instead of the company name?
The performer's name must match exactly the name as it appears on their supplier application and W-9 or the agreement will be rejected. The registered supplier name will be listed in Workday.
Do I need a Performer Agreement for a no-charge ($0) performance?
Yes. For liability purposes, a Performer Agreement is needed anytime any outside entity comes onto campus.
