New Training Empowers Contract Administrators across Grounds

Procurement Services' Garrett Morris has developed a valuable new resource that’s set to make a big impact across UVA. His new Contract Administrator training presentation is designed to help departments better understand their responsibilities once formal procurement processes are complete.

By clarifying contract administration roles, the training empowers units to manage supplier relationships more effectively, streamline operations, reduce risk, and ensure performance standards are met. This work is a great example of how thoughtful, proactive tools can strengthen University-wide processes and outcomes.



Well done, Sarah!
