I would like to source freelancers through Upwork but I first need to get them to be an approved vendor with my companies procurement department. In order to do this, I need to have someone from Upwork fill out some paperwork. How do I contact someone to do this? I keep getting directed to the chatbot when I attempt to contact someone at Upwork.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Richard and others,
I'd like to provide more information about this question here. We would not be able to provide any vendor documentation, nor fill out any vendor-related forms. This is because Upwork acts only as a payment processor and secured escrow agent, we would not be considered your service vendor for accounting or tax purposes, and we cannot provide any additional forms or paperwork related to vendor forms or agreements.

We are running a project at a US university using a grant. We would like to hire Upwork talent for the project however, given they'll be paid from the grant, we have to add Upwork as an approved vendor of the university.
So far, it seems like the only way to do so is via the standard enterprise client onboarding, which cost about $10K. To be honest, it's just way too expensive for us (our grant is not huge, and this is a short project).
I'll be happy to hear about any potential solutions - for example: special plans for universities.
