The City of Coppell recently announced that it has joined the Texas Purchasing Group. Bidnet Direct by SOVRA’s Texas Purchasing Group helps local governments, such as the City of Coppell, post, distribute and manage RFPs, quotes, addendums and awards online. The Texas Purchasing Group provides notifications to registered vendors of new bids related to their industry, any addenda and award information from over 50 participating agencies from across Texas. The City of Coppell invites all vendors to register online at www.bidnetdirect.com/texas/cityofcoppell.
When the City of Coppell decided to join the purchasing group in October 2024, they were looking to switch to an automated purchasing process to remain transparent and competitive. The Texas Purchasing Group helps to streamline the procurement process by providing a single, online location for managing and tracking all bid process activities.
Not only does the City of Coppell now have access to an extensive vendor pool, which helps to enhance competition, they are able to boost productivity by saving time and effort without increasing distribution costs. The City of Coppell invites all current vendors not already registered on the Texas Purchasing Group to do so today by visiting www.bidnetdirect.com/texas/cityofcoppell. Registered vendors can access bids and view all pertinent information provided, such as addendums and awards all in one convenient spot. In addition, vendors have the option to upgrade their profiles to receive daily email alerts with matching bid opportunities, as well as advance notices for expiring term contracts.
“We are excited to join our fellow local agencies by being a part of the Texas Purchasing Group,” stated Jennifer Cook, Senior Procurement Specialist for the City of Coppell. “We’re able to monitor the whole bid process and see which vendors are interested in working with us. It also allows our vendors to seek out more business opportunities and have instant access to all the information we can provide, which is a huge plus in our minds.”
Vendors may register on the Texas Purchasing Group at www.bidnetdirect.com/texas/cityofcoppell. Vendors may also contact Bidnet Direct’s vendor support team at 800-835-4603 (option 2) with any questions regarding registration or the bid system.
