Doing Business with the University of Delaware

The University of Delaware performs ongoing screening of all suppliers and payees, for debarment and other sanction status identification.  UD cannot conduct business with, or make payment to, any individual or entity appearing in any such domestic or foreign database.  UD also reserves the right to revoke "approved" status and terminate any and all contracts and transactions with an entity without further cause or penalty, should their sanction status change after initial onboarding and engagement.  

Suppliers must also agree to comply with any other federal, state and institutional eligibility requirements related to their engagement.  This includes the submission of accurate and verifiable tax and transaction support documentation as requested, as well as utilizing online UD supplier registration systems and portals, when available.  Failure or refusal to do so will affect UD's ability to engage with an entity for business purposes

All new domestic and foreign suppliers as well as existing suppliers (including students) who require any updates to their supplier record, must be invited to self register through the UDX Supplier Portal.

The term “supplier” is a general term used to refer to any person or organization that needs to be set up in our UDX Supplier Portal (when launched) to be paid. Suppliers may be domestic or foreign individuals, corporations, governments,  and other institutions. 

NEW suppliers must be invited by a UD department to self register in the UDX Supplier Portal. Approval of a supplier’s profile is required before we can process payments.  EXISTING suppliers needing updates to their profiles must also self register in the Portal. 

As a self registered supplier, you can utilize the Portal to manage your profile information including name, tax identification numbers, addresses, preferred payment methods and more.
