Navigating the Enterprise-Wide Web Contract
For those considering hiring a third party for their website work, Georgia Tech has an enterprise-wide contract in place that allows you to quickly get estimates from a group of pre-approved vendors.
In March 2020, the Institute finalized two enterprise-wide contracts for web projects:
- One for projects less than $50K.
- One for projects greater than $50K.
These contracts include a number of fully vetted vendors with a broad range of skillsets in owned digital. Every Georgia Tech unit seeking third-party website support must use a vendor from one of the enterprise-wide web contracts.

Quick Start Guide
- Identify the project Scope of Work (SOW).
- If you estimate that the value of the work is less than $50K, choose a minimum of 3 suppliers from the Enterprise Web Development – Small Projects contract and solicit quotes from them based on your SOW.
- If you estimate the value of the work is $50K or greater, then choose a minimum of 3 suppliers from the Enterprise Web Development – Large Projects contract and solicit quotes from them based on your SOW.
- Once you have identified the lowest quoting supplier that meets your needs, you will need to obtain an approved Campus Technology Request (CTR) from Georgia Tech OIT. Do not enter a requisition without an approved CTR.
- Enter a WorkDay Procurement Requisition, using the lowest quoting supplier as the Supplier in Workday. The requisition should be on a Service line item. Attach the approved CTR to the requisition, along with the supplier quotes you received.
