Obtaining Signatures on P0001 forms

When completing a P0001 exemption form (P0001, P0001R, P0001C or P0001H) the Requester should ensure the justification provided for the exemption is clear and detailed enough to determine that it meets one of the exemptions on page 2 of the forms (or that a higher cost purchase provides better overall value in the case of a P0001H form).

The Requester should then sign the form and ensure the form has the necessary signatures from their Area or Faculty BEFORE submitting the form to Strategic Procurement Services (either by email, fax, campus mail or as an attachment to a requisition in PeopleSoft).  Forms that are not completed by the Requester's Area or Faculty will be returned so the applicable signatures can be obtained.

Strategic Procurement Services will review the forms and obtain any signatures from ORS/eQUIP, the Vice Principal's and the Principal if required (based on the $ value of the purchase) following authorization by the Director, Strategic Procurement Services.  If the justification provided does not meet one of the exemptions allowed under Federal Legislation the form will be returned unauthorized.  Steps should then be taken to provide a clearer justification or proceed with a competitive procurement process.

Do not send any P0001 forms directly to the Offices of ORS/eQUIP, the Vice Principal's or the Principal.  Any forms that are sent directly to these Offices will be forwarded to the Director, Strategic Procurement Services for review before any authorization is granted to proceed with the purchase.

Impact of the BPS Procurement Directive on our Forms (April, 2011)

With the BPS Procurement Directive in effect Strategic Procurement Services has had to update the P0001 Exception to Procurement Policy Request Form.  The Directive mandates that exceptions to procurement policy are authorized one level higher than competitive purchases of the same dollar value.  As a result we can no longer use the same form for both Research and Non-Research purchases as the Queen's University Signing Authority Matrix is not the same for both areas. 

Please note the changes in individuals required to authorize exceptions to procurement policy.  

Exceptions that require sign off by ORS/eQUIP, a Vice Principal and/or Principal must be forwarded to Strategic Procurement Services before requesting the signature of the above signing authorities.

In addition, Strategic Consultants fall into their own category under the Directive and have their own exception approval level mandated by the Provincial Government.  Therefore, we have created a Consultants Exception to Procurement Policy form for use by anyone at the University.The BPS Procurement Directive mandates that a minimum of three strategic consultants should be invited to bid if the value of the contract is less than $100,000.  Any strategic consulting valued at over $100,000 must be publicly tendered by Strategic Procurement Services. Please use the form below if you require an exception from this policy. 

The form must be forwarded to Strategic Procurement Services before requesting the signature of the Principal.

The BPS definition of a Strategic Consultant is: “a person or entity that under an agreement, other than an employment agreement, provides expert or strategic advice and related services for consideration and decision-making.”

Finally, a request to use a High Bidder does not need the extra level of sign off so a form just for this purpose has been created for use by anyone at the University.

We will no longer accept the old P0001 Exception to Procurement Policy form after April 30th, 2011.
