Save the date! PCPS will host one PCPS User Group meeting on September 29, 2020 from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm. We will record this session and post to our website for those that are not able to attend.

This meeting will focus on the new supplier request form and supplier registration process, which will begin in early October.

Save the Date! Procurement, Contracting & Payment Services (PCPS) will be hosting a virtual PCPS User Group meeting! We will host two separate sessions. The same topics will be covered in both sessions, so please plan to attend only one session.

The Independent Contractor Determination form has been modified and we have implemented a new work flow for submission and approval of the form. The new form can now be found on the Tax Services Website and should be emailed to Shared Services upon completion to be reviewed by Tax Services.

Upon determination of the form, the Shared Services Center will work on either paying the agreement through Mountaineer Marketplace or getting the individual set up with payroll. The Independent Contractor Determination form should be completed and submitted for approval prior to any services being performed by the individual.

Dear West Virginia University Suppliers,

As West Virginia University begins to reopen its campuses, we have revised many of our onsite work rules in response to COVID-19. These rules are intended to promote your safety and the safety of our students, faculty and staff.

Information Technology Services reminds you to be aware of malicious emails urgently asking you to purchase gift cards using personal or University funds. These emails may appear to come from someone you know or someone who works at WVU, but they are really from would-be thieves.

Do not click on any links or reply to these emails. Forward suspicious email as an attachment to DefendYourData@mail.wvu.edu or call the person who appears to have sent the request by using their number in the WVU directory.

Enterprise Car Sales is offering the extended family offer of $700 off the purchase price of any vehicle to all WVU Employees.
