The Energy Resource Center announced it has joined the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System and will be publishing and distributing upcoming bid opportunities on the system. Bidnet Direct’s Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System connects over 375 participating agencies from across Colorado and Wyoming. The purchasing group provides a transparent bid process through which the bid is available to all vendors at the same time. The Energy Resource Center invites all vendors to register online at www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado.
The Energy Resource Center joined the purchasing group in November. The Energy Resource Center will utilize the system to streamline their purchasing process including bid distribution, bid management, and vendor relations. The Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System is a single, online location for managing sourcing information and activities and provides 389 local government agencies the tools needed to have a transparent bid process while minimizing costs and saving time.
“We strive to be as transparent as possible and to give all the information we have about the bid opportunity and the procurement process to all our vendors. By becoming a part of the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, we can provide all the important and necessary information instantly to our vendors, everything they need is in one spot and they don’t need to contact us to find out details, they can just log in and view everything in real time. This has allowed us to create a more seamless bid process and has provided more participation from vendors across the state,” stated Kevin Kurth, Purchasing Manager of the Energy Resource Center.
As a participating agency of the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, it allows the Energy Resource Center to expand their vendor pool and enhance vendor competition without increasing distribution costs.
