What Brandon does

At the beginning of the year Brandon has to fill out a Performance Evaluation which includes the things he has done during the previous year. He sent me a copy and I just had to share it. As you can see, Bran is one super busy Associate Director. Even I had no idea he had done all of these things.

This past year I have worked hard to improve the available training for both internal and external UVU staff, the the available tools to help the purchasing staff be more efficient, and the overall image of Procurement Services. I successfully prepared and presented a number of training sessions to the campus community related to the purchasing process. I was able to create and implement new online training materials. I performed a large amount of research related to purchasing policies and procedures. As a result, the RFP and Bid processes have been improved, new bid general provisions and purchase order terms and conditions have been written, and new policy has been presented for review. I have also worked hard to improve the available software tools, including report generation, BidSync integration, a new software ordering website, and improving the various databases used. I also implemented a plan to better track sole source justification forms. I was able to complete these projects in addition to my purchasing duties, where I was able to complete 1237 Purchase Orders, 306 change orders, 97 Bids, and 11 RFPs.
