‘Tis the Season! Vendor Gift Policy Reminder
As we approach the holiday season, Procurement Services reminds departments that gifts should not be accepted from vendors. Often, vendors reach out to clients during the holiday season with items intended to encourage business. It is the policy of VCU, as an agency subject to Virginia state procurement and conflict of interest laws, that university employees not accept gifts of any type from vendors. Procurement Services has prepared a letter for vendors explaining this policy. Staff are invited to share this letter with vendors who inquire about or offer gifts to employees. If you have any questions, feel free to email procurement services directly.
