Effective July 1, 2020, all expense contracts and agreements are required to be processed in collaboration with Business Services through the DocuSign contract process. Standardized contract templates have assisted in the effort to execute all contracts in a timely manner. However, with the many details involved with each agreement and the unique requests of departments and other parties, contract drafting, review and execution times can vary. Therefore, it is crucial for departments to contact Business Services as soon as an event, relationship, or other arrangements involving contractual agreements are being discussed and planned.
In compliance with LB429 Taxpayer Transparency Act, Business Services uploads all University expense contracts to the Nebraska State Contracts Database.
