How to do business with the University of Memphis

You will first need to register as a vendor. Registering with the UofM allows you to receive purchase orders, contracts, and bid opportunities related to our procurement transactions. Tigerbuy is the University's eProcurement system. The University maintains a directory of registered vendors that includes the materials, supplies, equipment, or services each vendor is able to furnish to the University.

To become a registered vendor in Tigerbuy, please see step-by-step directions here and begin your registration here.

You will begin your registration, receive and respond to a validation email, and then complete your vendor profile. Our procurement staff will validate your profile information and activate your account.

After completion of UofM registration, we recommend small & diverse suppliers register with the Governor’s Office of Diversity (GoDBE). Questions can be emailed to go.dbe@tn.gov.

Vendors that have been debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for doing business with the Federal Government are ineligible to do business with the University of Memphis.

Registration does not guarantee that all bidders will receive Requests for Quotations (RFQ) or Requests for Proposals (RFP). All bid opportunities are advertised through Tigerbuy and the University's Bid Calendar. Vendors may request specific bid opportunities by e-mail at ebid@memphis.edu.
