What is the procedure for ordering temporary administrative services?

Effective August 1, 2008, the following is the procedure for ordering temporary administrative services (For example: Adecco)

Departments will set up a blanket order in the system for all temporary administrative services. Choose a category code under standard services.

PCards may not be used to order temporary administrative services.

Example 1: A department needs one person for two weeks. The cost will be $1350. Department initiates a blanket order for $1350. Department will, in most cases, send the PO to the vendor. If the department calls vendor and places the order by phone (a practice used often with U-wide contract vendor, Adecco), department will need to advise vendor to reference the blanket order number on the invoice(s) and send the bill to the cluster. Note: U-wide Contract vendor Adecco will have a list of the clusters with their billing addresses to facilitate phone orders.

Example 2: A department wants to order temps as needed over the next year. Department creates a blanket order for one year for $30,000. Each time they call the vendor to order services, they refer to the blanket order number. Vendor references blanket order number on each invoice.
