Southeast Colorado Enterprise Development has officially joined the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, one of Bidnet Direct by SOVRA’s regional e-procurement solutions, providing vendors throughout Colorado and Wyoming easy online access to its upcoming solicitations. Southeast Colorado Enterprise Development invites all vendors to register online at www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado/seced.
The regional purchasing group connects local public agencies with vendors looking to do business with the government. Registered vendors of the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System can gain access to a variety of bid opportunities throughout Colorado and Wyoming in one easy-to-use location. By posting upcoming bids and RFPs on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, Southeast Colorado Enterprise Development ensures an entire community of vendors can view their solicitation, download documents, and receive notification of addenda, helping to streamline their procurement process.
“Through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System we now have more vendors submitting bids for our items or services. The more bids we get, the better the chances are that we will be able to get fair pricing and reliable work from our vendors. Participating with the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System allows us to post our bids and reach more vendors, which then creates more competition for the bid process,” said Stephanie Gonzales, Executive Director of Southeast Colorado Enterprise Development when asked why their department decided to join the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System.
Southeast Colorado Enterprise Development invites all local vendors to visit www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado/seced and register to receive access to its upcoming solicitations as well as the upcoming bids and RFPs from over 450 other public agencies participating on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. 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.
