Firestone, Colorado – The Town of Firestone announced it has joined the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System and will be publishing and distributing upcoming bid opportunities on the system. BidNet’s Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System connects over 200 participating agencies from across Colorado and Wyoming to a large vendor pool and streamlines the bid and vendor management process. The Town of Firestone invites all potential vendors to register online at www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado to access its upcoming solicitations.
The Town of Firestone joined the Purchasing Group in December. The Town of Firestone will utilize the system to streamline their purchasing process including bid management, bid distribution and vendor relations. The Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System is a single, online location for managing sourcing information and activities and provides local Colorado and Wyoming government agencies the tools needed to minimize costs and save time throughout the purchasing process.
Before joining the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, the Town of Firestone was distributing bids and managing their procurement process manually. The traditional, “paper” procurement process is being replaced by local government agencies throughout Colorado and Wyoming. In joining the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, the Town of Firestone looks to save time, reach out to more vendors automatically and achieve cost savings over the traditional paper-based bid process.
The Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System expands an agency’s vendor pool and enhances vendor competition without increasing distribution costs. In addition to the existing vendors on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, all vendors looking to do business with Town of Firestone can register online: www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado. The Town of Firestone invites all interested bidders to register today.
Registered vendors can access all open bids, related documents and files, additional 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 and advance notification of expiring term contracts. Registered vendors have access to not only Town of Firestone bid opportunities, but all participating agency bids.
“Our valued vendors can now save time and paper. Plus they not only have direct access to our open bids, but those from other agencies throughout both states. We invite all of our current vendors to register on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System to start receiving business opportunities,” stated Jessica Clanton, Finance Director of the Town of Firestone.
Vendors may register on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System by visiting 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.
