Code of Conduct
Colorado League of Charter Schools
Group Purchasing Code of Conduct
- The needs of the League's member schools will take precedence over all other considerations
- League directors with influence over contracting decisions will not accept gifts of greater than a nominal value from suppliers that have or wish to have a business relationship with the League
- League directors and officers with influence over contracting decisions should recuse themselves from contract negotiations with any supplier from which they have received gifts of greater than nominal value
- All competitive suppliers will be given equal consideration in each contracting category. All open RFP’s will be posted on the League website in advance of an award.
- Each contracting category will have a standardized administrative fee (the fee is not a variable component of the award) that will be declared in advance of the competitive bidding process
- A vendor’s other business relationships with the League (such as conference sponsorship or vendor guide participation) will have no influence on contract award decisions
