The Gainesville Housing Authority has officially joined the Florida Purchasing Group, one of Bidnet Direct’s regional e-procurement solutions, providing vendors throughout Florida easy online access to its upcoming solicitations. The Gainesville Housing Authority invites all vendors to register online at www.bidnetdirect.com/florida/gainesvillehousingauthority.
The regional purchasing group connects local public agencies with vendors looking to do business with the government. Registered vendors of the Florida Purchasing Group can gain access to a variety of bid opportunities throughout Florida in one easy-to-use location. By posting upcoming bids and RFPs on the Florida Purchasing Group, the Gainesville Housing Authority ensures an entire community of vendors can view their solicitation, download documents, and receive notification of addenda, helping to streamline their procurement process.
"As one of many public agencies looking to procure a variety of different goods and services, utilizing the Florida Purchasing Group allows us to find more vendors, increasing participation and creates more competition, which is a plus for us because it gives us more opportunities to choose reliable businesses to work with and guarantees we can get what we need at a fair price,” said Michelle Beans, Chief Operating Officer of the Gainesville Housing Authority when asked why their department decided to join the Florida Purchasing Group. “It also allows us to get to support local businesses and gives the vendors a chance to grow their business.”
The Gainesville Housing Authority invites all local vendors to visit www.bidnetdirect.com/florida/gainesvillehousingauthority and register to receive access to its upcoming solicitations as well as the upcoming bids and RFPs from over 50 other public agencies participating on the Florida Purchasing Group. Registered vendors have the option to upgrade their service to receive customized bid alerts, notification of term contract expiration, and notification of a real-time addendum.
