Virginia Administrative Code › Title 8 - EDUCATION › Agency 85 - UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA › Chapter 10 - MEDICAL CENTER PROCUREMENT GUIDELINES › Section 8VAC85-10-120 - Adoption and effective dates of implementing procedures and interim implementing procedures

Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. The
				president, acting through the executive vice president in consultation with the
				Vice President and Provost for Health Sciences, shall adopt a comprehensive set
				of specific procurement procedures (the "procedures"), which implement
				applicable provisions of law and these guidelines. The procedures (i) shall
				include the delegation of procurement authority to appropriate university
				officials who will oversee university purchases on behalf of the Medical Center
				of goods; services, including professional services; and construction,
				including a grant of authority to such officials to engage in further
				delegation of authority as the president deems appropriate, and (ii) shall be
				consistent with and implement the requirements of these guidelines and the
				provisions of § 23-77.4 of the Code of Virginia.
B. These guidelines shall be effective July
				1, 1996, and, as of their effective date, shall be applicable to all
				procurements undertaken by the university on behalf of the Medical Center for
				goods; services, including professional services; and construction. Existing
				contracts may continue to be used after that date. Since, however, the
				procedures are not anticipated to be developed and adopted prior to July 1,
				1996, interim procedures to implement these guidelines are needed. Therefore,
				by July 1, 1996, and until 30 days following the submission of the procedures
				to the Board of Visitors, the president or his designee shall implement these
				guidelines by adopting, on an interim basis, procurement procedures that (i)
				incorporate with any necessary modification the Commonwealth of Virginia
				Purchasing Manual for Institutions of Higher Education and Their Vendors (the
				"Purchasing Manual") for all procurements of goods and services other than
				construction and construction-related professional services and (ii)
				incorporate the provisions of the Virginia Public Procurement Act, § 11-35
				et seq. of the Code of Virginia (but not the policies or procedures of any
				other state agency administering the Virginia Public Procurement Act) for all
				procurements of construction and construction-related professional services.
				Thus, on an interim basis, the university will continue to act on behalf of the
				Medical Center pursuant to the Purchasing Manual for purchases other than
				capital outlay. The provisions of the Virginia Public Procurement Act
				incorporated by reference into the interim implementing procedures will apply
				to procurements related to capital outlay (i.e., construction and capital
				outlay-related professional services).
C. The interim implementing procurement
				procedures shall remain in effect until the expiration of 30 days following
				submission of the procedures to the Board of Visitors. After that date (i) the
				Purchasing Manual and the Virginia Public Procurement Act provisions
				incorporated herein by reference shall no longer apply other than as set forth
				in these guidelines and (ii) these guidelines shall apply as implemented by the
				procedures to all procurements by the university on behalf of the Medical
				Center for goods; services, including professional services; and
				construction.
