2016-0025 Purchasing and ePayables Card Program

What is it?

The City of Pittsburgh is interested in modernizing and increasing the efficiency of small dollar purchases and the vendor payment process by implementing an electronic payment (ePayables) and purchasing card (P-Card) program.

The ePayables service should allow vendors to receive electronic payments instead of paper checks after submitting invoices to the City for payment. An electronic payment solution will help the City reduce the costs and inefficiencies that exist with the process of issuing paper checks, and reduce exposure to check fraud.

The P-Card program should deliver an efficient and cost effective method of purchasing low value goods and services. This program should simplify the current purchasing order process used by the City and drive it toward realizing efficiencies related to reduced paperwork and lower administrative costs.
