Strasburg, CO – The Strasburg School District announced today that it has joined the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, a regional purchasing group that helps local governments post, distribute and manage RFPs, quotes, addendums and awards online. BidNet’s Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System provides notification to registered vendors of new relevant solicitations, any addenda and award information from over 200 participating agencies from across Colorado & Wyoming.
The Strasburg School District joined the purchasing group in April. In joining, the Strasburg School District has become the 232nd participating local government agency utilizing the system to streamline the purchasing process. The Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System is a single, online location for managing sourcing information and activities and provides local Colorado & Wyoming government agencies a method to minimize costs and time delays associated with the procurement process. The Strasburg School District was distributing bids and managing the procurement process manually before joining the system. The Strasburg School District looks to save time, increase competition and achieve cost savings over the traditional paper-based bid process.
The Strasburg School District now has access to an extensive vendor pool, thereby enhancing competition without increasing distribution costs. In addition to the existing vendors on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, all vendors looking to respond to bids with local government agencies can register online at www.BidNetDirect.com/Colorado.The Strasburg School District invites all current vendors not already registered on the purchasing group to do so today. Vendor registration is easy and takes only a few minutes online.
Registered vendors can access bids, related documents, addendum and award information. In addition, the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System offers a value-added service to notify vendors of new bids targeted to their industry, all addenda associated with those bids and advance notice of term contract expiration. A robust NIGP code category list allows vendors registering to find the correct codes and receive matched bids.
“We look forward to working with the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. We are a small rural district and this system should help us acquire several bids for each project”, said procurement staff at Strasburg School District.
Vendors may register on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System - www.BidNetDirect.com/Colorado. BidNet’s vendor support team is available to answer any questions regarding the registration process or the bid system at 800-835-4603 option 2.
