Goods and Services Supplier Compliance Guidelines

Goods and services suppliers doing business with Cisco must engage with Global Procurement Services (GPS). If a transaction is not in compliance, GPS may intervene to stop the transaction.

Suppliers are required to comply with the following important guidelines and policies:

Purchase orders (PO's)

• Suppliers must receive a valid, Cisco approved purchase order (PO) before commencing any work.
• Use the correct statement of work (SOW).
• For non-contingent workforce services managed by GPS, a Cisco approved PO and SOW must be received prior to commencing any work.
• For contingent workforce services, suppliers are issued with a PO and SOW from Cisco’s C-Worker Connect Program.

Invoices for payment

• Invoices for payment must be submitted against a valid, Cisco-approved PO. The PO number must be clearly indicated on all invoices.
• Invoices should align with milestones stated in the SOW and Cisco’s standard terms and conditions for PO's.

Supplier policies

• All suppliers working with Cisco are required to comply with our policies and governing documents.
