Purchasing

Our mission is to use best business practices to assist the campus community with the cost-effective and timely acquisition of goods and services.

We are committed to excellent customer service, procurement of high quality office products, reasonable and competitive prices, and ethical and professional purchasing practices.

  • Office Supplies

    The college uses WB Mason for office supplies and the contract includes the following:

    • No minimum order requirements
    • Highly competitive product pricing
    • Next-day desktop delivery for in-stock items if the order is placed by 4:00 pm the day before
    • Dedicated WB Mason customer service support team
    • Customized and stream-lined ordering website
    • Simple payment with purchasing cards

    To register for a new WB Mason account, please jcbrown [at] haverford.edu (subject: WB%20Mason%20account%20request) (email Joanne Brown) to request access to the website. You will receive a welcome email from WB with a temporary password to join.

    You will need a college purchasing card at checkout. If you don't have one, you can apply for a college purchasing card via Workday.

    In-stock items will be delivered to your office the next day. Please make every attempt to be in the office on the delivery day. If your office is locked, deliveries will be left in the hallway, with photo documentation that the delivery has been made.

  • New and Used Furniture Requests

    The Purchasing Department can help staff and faculty purchase new office furniture or select used furniture in storage. We welcome you to view the Stokes storage room to choose used items for free or visit our showroom of new furniture in the Controller’s Office to view items for purchase. We request that you make an appointment to visit either space.

    If you have unwanted furniture in good condition, please get in touch with us at hc-request-furniture [at] haverford.edu to arrange for a transfer to Stokes storage. Please do not submit a move request with Facilities/Housekeeping until you confirm we have space.

    If you need to order new furniture, please create a request in Workday. Use the Workday search bar and enter “Cre Req” and select Create Request. Choose Furniture Purchase in the Request Type and fill out the required information.

    If you have any other questions, please email us at hc-request-furniture [at] haverford.edu.
