Our CEO contracted with a marketing firm to develop a marketing flyer. The marketing firm inturn had the company that printed and sent out the flyer billed directly to the hospital and shipped to the hospital. The marketing firm is not billing us directly for the product, so I requested a purchase requisition from the CEO. Is this purchase still deemed under the contract with the marketing firm?
Hello,
Unless you specified differently in the contract, you have contracted with the marketing company and are responsible for paying them. There is no "privity of contract" between you and the printing company so the printing company would have to submit billing to the marketing company (the general contractor) as a subcontractor on the contract. The marketing company would be responsible for billing you directly upon request. They would in turn pay the printing company.
I hope this helps and thanks for the question.
