Welcome Vendors to the UPMC Presbyterian Construction Project

New Construction and Non-Construction

As a new diverse vendor (seeking qualification: not part of UPMC-approved construction vendor list and/or has never conducted business with UPMC or UPMC Health Plan), we welcome your engagement with the UPMC Presbyterian tower project.

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Enterprise Focus

  • Promoting inclusion of new businesses to address vendor diversity gaps. 
  • Providing mentoring support or mentor matchmaking opportunities necessary to facilitate sustainable business practices.
