The City of Linden announced it has joined BidNet Direct’s MITN Purchasing Group and will be publishing and distributing upcoming bid opportunities on the system. The MITN Purchasing Group connects participating agencies from across Michigan to a large vendor pool and streamlines the bid and vendor management process. BidNet’s MITN Purchasing Group provides notifications to registered vendors of new relevant solicitations, as well as any addenda and award information from participating agencies across Michigan and can be accessed at www.bidnetdirect.com/mitn.
City of Linden joins the purchasing group in March and will utilize the system to publish and distribute upcoming bid opportunities. The MITN Purchasing Group is a single, online location that manages sourcing information and activities and provides local government agencies throughout Michigan the tools needed to minimize costs and save time throughout the purchasing process.
“We are always looking to increase our vendor pool and competition,” said Ellen Glass, City Manager. “We hope the MITN Purchasing Group will help us extend the reach of our solicitations. It will help our vendors find more local opportunities and allow for the convenience and efficiency of electronic responses.”
Registered vendors can access all open bids, related documents and files, addenda, and award information. The MITN Purchasing Group offers a value-added service to notify vendors of new bids, addenda and advance notification of expiring term contracts targeted to their industry.
