What are the steps to become a vendor?

• A family requests a vendor through their Educational Facilitator.
• The Educational Facilitator reviews the vendor’s services in light of our requirements and current needs.
  • If the vendor is a good fit for iLEAD, the Educational Facilitator will submit a New Vendor Request Form to the Vendor Department for further evaluation.
  • If the vendor is not a good fit for iLEAD, the Educational Facilitator will inform the family.
• The Vendor Department will evaluate the New Vendor Request to confirm that the vendor is a good fit for iLEAD.
  • If the vendor is a good fit for iLEAD, the Vendor Department will send the vendor an application link.
  • If the vendor is not a good fit for iLEAD, the Vendor Department will notify the Educational Facilitator.
• The vendor submits an online application for the Vendor Department to further evaluate.
  • If further clarification is needed, the Vendor Department will reach out to the vendor to clarify.
  • If the vendor is a good fit for iLEAD, the Vendor Department will request supporting documents from the vendor.
  • If the vendor is not a good fit for iLEAD, the Vendor Department will inform the vendor. The Educational Facilitator will be notified as well.
• The vendor submits supporting documentation (W-9, business license, and insurance) for approval.
  • Some adjustments may need to be made to the vendor’s insurance depending on what is submitted.
• The vendor pays to LiveScan all instructors who will have direct contact with iLEAD learners and sends their LiveScan forms to the Vendor Department.
• The Vendor Department awaits LiveScan results from the Department of Justice.
• If the LiveScans clear and all other paperwork is approved, the vendor will be added to iLEAD’s approved vendor list.
• The vendor will be sent a welcome email from the Vendor Department with billing instructions and information on how our PO system works.
