Hiring a Freelance Designer: Departments can also hire from Virginia Tech's pre-approved list of creative vendors — already vetted and under competitively negotiated university contracts, so no separate bidding process is required.
Browse the vendor list in the Resource Network Guide and contact a vendor directly to discuss your project and get a quote.
Enter a HokieMart requisition for the agreed scope of work; HokieMart will show the vendor's existing contract number to select.
A purchase order goes straight to the vendor — no additional Procurement approval needed.
Share final materials and feedback on the vendor with marjorielee@vt.edu once the project wraps.
