The Business Resource Center (BRC) has brought its procurement services together under one UCOP Procurement team to make purchasing support simpler and more consistent. Until recently, your purchasing needs were supported by two teams — UCOP Procurement for high-value contracts and the Purchase Order and Payment team (POP) for lower-value purchases.

Whether you are making a routine purchase, using a PCard, engaging a consultant, purchasing software or entering into a more complex agreement, BRC will route it to the appropriate staff in the newly aligned UCOP Procurement team and coordinate any related supplier, payment or tax support behind the scenes.

As reflected in the updated BRC organizational chart:

• The Local Procurement team is now called UCOP Procurement.
• Within the newly aligned UCOP Procurement team, Balynda Howe remains a supervisor and continues to lead the team supporting UCOP purchasing needs.
• The POP team is now Payables, Supplier and Tax Services and will work closely with UCOP Procurement on supplier setup, invoice payments, and tax services. The newly aligned Payables, Supplier and Tax Services continues to report to Jenia Sevillano.

BRC remains your partner for procurement, accounts payable, supplier management, travel and entertainment, tax compliance and related services.
