The City of Port Jervis officially announced today it has joined the Empire State Purchasing Group, an e-procurement system from Bidnet Direct by SOVRA that provides over 350 local government agencies throughout New York a solution for bid and vendor management. The City of Port Jervis invites all potential vendors to register online with www.bidnetdirect.com/new-york/cityofportjervis to access its upcoming solicitations.
Moving forward into the digital era, the City of Port Jervis can publish all bid opportunities on the Empire State 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 Empire State Purchasing Group can track vendors interested in a specific bid, as well as finding out which ones download the documents.
“By utilizing the Empire State Purchasing Group, we are now able to see right away which suppliers are interested in our bid opportunities,” says Steven Duryea, DPW Director of the City of Port Jervis. “We’re also able to take it one step further and see who is downloading the documents and showing a strong interest in submitting a proposal. We didn’t have this type of technology linked to our own website, so this is beneficial to the agency and how we go about publishing and awarding bids.”
