Dispensation from competitive tendering requests and supplier credit checks

 
Dispensation from competitive tendering requests include the name of the supplier a department is looking to use.  During normal competitive tendering processes a range of detailed checks are undertaken to ensure potential suppliers to the University are financially viable (through credit checks for example) and that they have ethics and values which meet ours (such as Modern Slavery Act compliance).
 
The procurement team have been asked to ensure as they receive dispensation requests to review, that if it relates to a potential new supplier to the University they actively ask the requesting department to confirm a credit check has been undertaken and that the results are acceptable, as well as ensuring the supplier has confirmed compliance with Modern Slavery Act as part of the review process.  To this end, can we ask that if you are looking to raise a dispensation from competitive tendering request which relates to a potential new supplier to the University, you include a short statement in the ‘other information’ field confirming that you have secured an acceptable credit check into their financial viability and that they have confirmed compliance to the Modern Slavery Act.
 
The easiest way to check the status of a potential supplier is to check against the University supplier database which can be accessed here https://www.finance.admin.cam.ac.uk/staff-and-departmental-services/customersupplier-set/supplier-set
