OE Procurement Work Group
Who’s in the BearBuy work group?
The BearBuy project team is part of the larger OE Finance and Procurement initiatives at UCSF and UC Berkeley and is comprised of University of California employees from both campuses, as well as specialized implementation consultants. The BearBuy project team has been charged with developing and implementing an easy-to-use, well-defined system for procuring goods that will make it easier to save money and save faculty and staff time -- time that they can use to focus on their teaching, research, and service to students and the campus community.
