Purchasing & Accounts Payable


Welcome to UWM’s Procurement Office.

The Procurement Office (comprised of Purchasing and Accounts Payable professionals) buys and pays for goods and services for the University and provides guidance on procurement practices in accordance with State, UW System, and Campus laws, policies, procedures, guidelines, and best practices.

Our goals are to support the mission and core values of the University through the efficient and effective acquisition of goods and services; to provide outstanding customer service to our stakeholders with commodity, sourcing, and compliance expertise; and to employ open, transparent, and ethical procurement processes.

You can access UWM’s portal for initiating procurement transactions, ShopUW+, at the link above.

For ShopUW+ Users, a ShopUW+ Essentials Supplier Manager User Resources web page is available to help users guide suppliers to use the Jaggaer Supplier Portal and direct them to training resources on the ShopUW+ Resources page.

For Suppliers, a ShopUW+ Essentials Supplier Resources web page is available for suppliers to get information on how to become a registered supplier and access the Jaggaer Supplier Portal.
