Third Party Vendor Assessment Review

To learn more about what the Third Party Vendor Assessment is and why it is required, please review our Third Party Vendor Assessment article.

Instructions:

THIS IS A 2-STEP PROCESS.  Please read the instructions fully.

1.  Prior to the purchase of the requested application/service, please complete the 3PVA form. If there are items that you are unsure of, please contact the primary user of the software or software vendor and ask for the information. If there are still items you are unable to answer, please let us know. 

  • This assessment must be completed prior to purchase or renewal.
  • It is best if the primary user of the software/service is the one to fill out the 3PVA form.  Some of the questions ask for specific information - if we do not get accurate information, you will be notified and the form will need to be re-submitted.
  • You must submit a copy of the 3PVA to IT for review via a service request. (Instructions below)

To get a copy of the 3PVA, do one of the following:

  • Before clicking 'Submit', check the box for 'Send me a copy of my responses'.  When you receive the email, click the 'View my Responses' button and you will taken to the form.  You will be able to save a copy from there.

  • After clicking submit, click 'Print or get PDF of answers' and save the file.

 

2.  Once the form is completed, you will then submit a ticket to request a review of the 3PVA by selecting the 'Submit 3PVA for Review' button to the top right of this page.

  • If you already have a ticket open for a quote, you can attach the 3PVA to that ticket.  Be sure to add a comment to your ticket to notify us of the completed 3PVA!  

3.  IT will review the 3PVA and send you an approval via your ticket.  This approval is the documentation that must be included with your purchasing records, especially for contract-based purchases.
