Supplier Management
The Supplier Management Team maintains the supplier database in Bull Marketplace, a comprehensive Procure-to-Pay solution. The Supplier Management Team adds new suppliers and oversees updates to suppliers that currently exist in Bull Marketplace. Updating suppliers includes reactivating inactive suppliers as well as verifying any changes to supplier records. Supplier Management also prepares the annual IRS 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms.
NEW SUPPLIER REQUEST PROCESS
The New Supplier Request process is used for adding suppliers that are not currently in Bull Marketplace as well as for reactivating suppliers that are in Bull Marketplace but are currently inactive. Please do not email W-9, W-8 or ACH forms for the New Supplier Request process. Advise the supplier to provide these forms directly in their supplier portal.
REACTIVATING INACTIVE SUPPLIERS
If a supplier exists in Bull Marketplace but is inactive, a New Supplier Request form must be submitted in order to reactivate the supplier. Please refer to the New Supplier Request Process and instructions above.
UPDATING A SUPPLIER
Do not email W-9, W-8 or ACH forms as backup for supplier updates. For changes to a supplier record request the supplier login to their supplier portal to update their information. Changes to a supplier record must be completed by the supplier directly in Bull Marketplace. If an active supplier has not previously been invited to register and needs access to update their supplier record, direct them to contact suppliersetup@usf.edu.
