The City of Clawson announced it has joined the MITN Purchasing Group and will be publishing and distributing upcoming bid opportunities on the system. As of today, bidnet direct’s MITN Purchasing Group connects over 250 participating agencies from across Michigan to a large vendor pool and streamlines the bid and vendor management process. The City of Clawson invites all potential vendors to register online with www.bidnetdirect.com/mitn to access its upcoming solicitations.
The City of Clawson joined the purchasing group in April 2020. The City of Clawson has been utilizing the system to streamline the purchasing process including bid management, bid distribution and vendor relations. The MITN Purchasing Group is a single, online location for managing sourcing information and activities and provides local Michigan government agencies the tools needed to minimize costs and save time throughout the purchasing process.
Before joining the system, the City of Clawson was distributing bids and managing the procurement process manually. The traditional, “paper” procurement process is being replaced by local government agencies throughout Michigan. In joining the purchasing group, the City of Clawson looks to save time, reach out to more vendors automatically and achieve cost savings over the traditional paper-based bid process.
The MITN Purchasing Group expands an agency’s vendor pool and enhances vendor competition without increasing distribution costs. In addition to the existing vendors on the MITN Purchasing Group, all vendors looking to do business with the City of Clawson can register online: www.bidnetdirect.com/mitn. The City of Clawson invites all interested bidders to register today.
Registered vendors can access all open bids, related documents and files, additional addendum and award information. In addition, the MITN Purchasing Group offers a value-added service to notify vendors of new bids targeted to their industry, all addenda and advance notification of expiring term contracts. Registered vendors have access to not only the City of Clawson bid opportunities, but all participating agency bids.
Vendors may register on the MITN Purchasing Group: www.bidnetdirect.com/mitn. bidnet direct’s vendor support team is available to answer any questions regarding the registration process or the bid system at 800-835-4603 option 2.
Other local government agencies looking to switch from a manual bid process, please contact the MITN Purchasing Group for a demonstration of the no-cost sourcing solution.
