Strategic Sourcing is excited to introduce the NFI Purchasing Quick Reference Guide as a resource to simplify NFI’s procurement and compliance procedures, whether you are ordering supplies, managing contracts, or navigating Coupa.

This guide outlines key purchasing requirements, approval expectations, supplier compliance rules, and important policy reminders to help ensure purchases are processed correctly and paid on time.

 

The document also includes a three-column reference table outlining the specific task you want to complete, the steps you need to take, and the purpose of the process.

 

Please review the guide carefully and refer to it before initiating any purchases, supplier engagements, or contract requests.
