Moving forward into the digital era, the City of Delray Beach can publish all bid opportunities on the Florida Purchasing Group site, by doing this they will be able to track every step of the process and have a more transparent bid process. Participating government agencies utilizing the Florida Purchasing Group can track vendors interested in a specific bid, as well as finding out which ones download the documents.
“By utilizing the Florida Purchasing Group, we are now able to see right away which suppliers are interested in our bid opportunities,” says Hugh Dunkley, Chief Financial Officer of the City of Delray Beach. “We’re also able to take it one step further and see who is actually downloading the documents and showing a strong interest in submitting a proposal.
