DePaul University is committed to building strong partnerships with a broad and diverse supplier base. We encourage businesses that are at least 51% owned and operated by women, racial or ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, or veterans to pursue sourcing opportunities with DePaul.
Diversity, inclusion, and equity are core values in DePaul's procurement practices. When business requirements align,
DePaul seeks to expand opportunities for qualified diverse suppliers to compete for University business.
New Suppliers with Confirmed Business at DePaul
Once you have confirmed business with DePaul, you will receive a link to formally register in the Supplier Portal, where required business information is collected. During registration, all new suppliers must complete the standard onboarding information; suppliers that qualify as diverse may also self‑identify and upload applicable certification documentation.
