SMARTSHEET PROCUREMENT REQUEST FORMS

ITS has replaced its Procurement Request Forms with an online form that can be used for all procurement request types. Once submitted, the information will be reviewed by ITS for completion, and if not complete it may be sent back to you for additional information. Once completed, the request will be sent to your authorized delegates for approval before a project will be initiated. Placeholder requests will be available to your authorized delegates to manage until all necessary information is provided. Once a project is initialized, authorized delegates will have access to view real-time updates on projects to enhance collaboration and transparency.

The Procurement Project Request Online Form can be accessed here:

Dynamic View Access 

Users designated by your agency or organization through the authorized delegation process will be called "Customer Project Managers” and will be granted security permissions to view detailed project information. These users must have an account with Smartsheet to see this information.
