Today, the City of Fredericksburg has officially joined the Texas Purchasing Group to help simplify their bid and RFP distribution process. The Texas Purchasing Group is one of bidnet direct’s regional purchasing groups which offers participating local government agencies an e-procurement solution. The City of Fredericksburg invites all vendors to register online with the Texas Purchasing Group to access its upcoming solicitations by visiting www.bidnetdirect.com/texas/fbgtx.
With the Texas Purchasing Group, vendors register to access one centralized location with opportunities from over 50 participating agencies throughout Texas. By posting upcoming solicitations to the regional purchasing group, rather than their website, the City of Fredericksburg hopes to make it easier for more vendors to access their documents. They also hope to expand the reach of their solicitations to a more diverse vendor pool. Unlike the prior process of only publishing bids to a webpage, the Texas Purchasing Group provides a method to track all bid activity, including the details of vendors who have received or downloaded a bid.
The City of Fredericksburg invites all local vendors to visit www.bidnetdirect.com/texas/fbgtx and register to receive access to its upcoming solicitations as well as the upcoming bids and RFPs from 50 other public agencies participating on the Texas Purchasing Group. Registered vendors also gain access to a team of experienced customer service support representatives and can upgrade their service to receive customized bid alerts, advanced notice of term contract expiration, and notification of a recently posted addendum.
