Potential suppliers with products and services suitable to the University of Michigan's requirements are encouraged to register using the MConnect Vendor Registration System.

After registering, your firm is added to a database used by procurement agents when compiling bid lists or providing potential supplier names to university departments.  Registering as a supplier with the university does not guarantee that you will receive bid requests or prequalify you as a supplier.  Some contracts are long-term and may not expire for several years.  In addition, there may be many suppliers registered that provide products and services similar to yours.  It is not always practical to include all registered suppliers for a particular bid.  Should the interest or the need for your company’s products or services present itself, you will be contacted by a procurement agent.
