Vancouver Community College (VCC; the College) has a responsibility to conduct all procurement activities:

• with the highest level of institutional and personal integrity;
• in an open, competitive, transparent and fair manner; and
• in a way that allows all qualified vendors the opportunity to do business with VCC.

This Policy establishes a procurement accountability framework that enables purchasing efficiencies and benefits, and provides a basis from which VCC will adhere to best practices in procurement.
