SUPPLIER DIVERSITY PROGRAM

Supplier Registration

Novation’s Supplier Diversity Program seeks to maximize the inclusion of minority, women and veteran (veteran and service-disabled veteran) business enterprises (MWVBEs), as well as small businesses, into our contracting decisions. For MWVBEs and small businesses seeking an opportunity to become Novation suppliers, we have expanded our supplier diversity registration portal .

Benefits of the portal include:

• allowing MWVBEs and small businesses to promote themselves on a public platform
• including MWVBEs and small businesses not currently contracted with Novation
• providing any health care organization a database of potential MWVBEs and small businesses that have up-to-date certifications properly classifying them as diverse businesses

Suppliers listed in Novation’s Supplier Registration database are not provided any contractual guarantees. Registered suppliers are also not considered to be contracted Novation suppliers unless they have a mutual written agreement between their organization and Novation. Novation’s name is not to be directly used or implied in any press release, website or other notification if a supplier’s information is merely accepted into our Supplier Registration database.
