Recent Legislative Changes Affecting the Procurement of Goods and Services at UConn
University Business Servicers has worked with Government Relations and other state entities including UConn Health, Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system, and the Department of Administrative Services, to propose Bill SB1184 to increase to the State of Connecticut’s public bid thresholds and simplify the prequalification process for construction contractors. UBS anticipates that these changes will greatly ease the administrative burden on its customers, staff, and contractors.
To support this change, UBS is in the process of updating relevant forms and information on its website and in HuskyBuy. As there are changes to the sourcing thresholds in HuskyBuy, UBS advises departments to wait until 10/1 to begin draft carts and submit requisitions to take advantage of these new rules. HuskyBuy will not be fully programmed for the new sourcing choices until 10/1.
For a complete list of the changes that will take effect on 10/1/23, please visit Home | University Business Services (uconn.edu).
