General Guidelines
Very few people within the Georgia Tech community are authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the University. The Delegation of Presidential Authority Memorandum lists the authorized signatories for each type of contract. This Memorandum can be found on the website of the Office of Legal Affairs. No member of the Institute, faculty or staff may sign a contract without specific written authorization from the President. State law provides that persons entering into contracts without complying with all applicable State laws and regulations become personally liable for any amounts due under those contracts.
Each Georgia Tech unit requesting a contract shall designate a responsible person to monitor vendor performance and subsequent evaluation of their contract(s). Central Purchasing will provide assistance to units for vendor evaluations when applicable.
