    • Mandatory Annual Training Course:  All District personnel who manage or work with contracts must take the Contracting at PPS: Requirements and Best Practices 2024-25 (PCP1036) course in Pepper PD. The course allows you to read and respond to quiz questions at your own pace; we anticipate that it may take 30 minutes. Effective July 1, 2024, the 2024-25 course must be completed before you submit a contract for the 2024-25 school year.  Purchasing & Contracting will not process any contract unless the PPS contract manager, school/department contact person, and budget holder have taken and passed the 2024-25 course.  If you submit a contract, but have not taken the training, you will receive an email reminder to do so.  The contract will be returned unprocessed if the training has not been completed within one week of submission. To access the course:
      1. Log in to Pepper PD ()
      2. Click on the "Course Library" located on the top menu
      3. Click on the "Subject" Filter
      4. Scroll and Select "Business Operations" from the choices
      5. Click the course title and then "Sign Up & Start Course"
    • Do not send contract templates to vendors to complete.  Our templates should be completed by PPS staff.  Fill in all fillable fields, save the document as a pdf, and then send to the vendor for the vendor's approval and signature before providing the contract, along with a Contract Approval Form, to Purchasing & Contracting for final review and District signature.
