On Monday, August 5th, the International Health Division (IHD) will go live on iProcurement, our new automated requisitioning system!

Now that you are ready to go, we have important information and resources we’d like to share to help you get off to a good start with iProcurement.

To streamline the process of requesting a purchase be made, the iProcurement Request Form for Goods and Services should be utilized as it provides a single form in which all of the information required to initiate your requisition can be documented.  Your organization’s point of contact (POC) will use the completed form to create the purchase requisition in iProcurement for you.  The iProcurement Request Form for Goods and Services should be used when requesting goods, services, consultants or subcontract services, all of which now require a purchase requisition.

To request goods or services with iProcurement, use the attachments to this message and follow these simple steps:

1.      To identify an iProcurement POC for your organization, refer to the iProcurement POC List to Request Form for Goods and Services.  The document is also available on the Abt Global Intranet (AGI) at iProcurement under Resources - Support Resources.

2.      Using the iProcurement Request Form for Goods and Services, complete the information for your request.  This form can also be found on AGI at iProcurement under Resources – Support Resources.

3.      Submit the completed requisition form to your iProcurement POC.  No signature approvals are required on the iProcurement Request Form for Goods and Services since iProcurement will automatically route the purchase requisition for you!

Effective August 5th, paper purchase requisitions and the Subcontract Checklist will no longer be accepted for new requests.

As you use the new process, if you have a comment or suggestion for iProcurement, please reach out to us via email at Abt Procurement.  Your feedback is important and will be used in determining future enhancements for the iProcurement system and our processes.

Thank you so much for “Buying into the Future!”
