City of Delray Beach Joins the Florida Purchasing Group for Tracking Bid Distribution

The City of Delray Beach officially announced today it has joined the Florida Purchasing Group, an e-procurement system from Bidnet Direct by SOVRA that provides over 50 local government agencies throughout Florida a solution for bid and vendor management. The City of Delray Beach invites all potential vendors to register online with www.bidnetdirect.com/florida/cityofdelraybeach to access its upcoming solicitations.

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. We don’t have this type of technology linked to our own website, so this is a huge benefit to the agency and how we go about publishing and awarding bids.”

The City of Delray Beach invites all local vendors to receive access to its upcoming solicitations by joining the Florida Purchasing Group. Vendor benefits of registering on www.bidnetdirect.com/florida/cityofdelraybeach include:
