The Town of Johnstown announced today that it has joined the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. BidNet’s Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System helps local governments, such as the Town of Johnstown, post, distribute and manage RFPs, quotes, addendums and awards online. The Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System provides notification to registered vendors of new bids related to their industry, and any addenda and award information from over 200 participating agencies from across Colorado & Wyoming. The Town of Johnstown invites all potential vendors to register online with the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System to access its upcoming solicitations by visiting www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado.
The Town of Johnstown joined the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System in April. There was a need for the Town of Johnstown to automate their purchasing process to save time, increase competition and achieve cost savings over the traditional paper-based bid process. The Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System streamlines the creation and issuance of bid requests, supplier response submission and the awarding of bids. By providing a single, online location for managing sourcing information and activities, local government agencies minimize costs and time delays associated with the procurement process.
The Town of Johnstown 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 do business with local government agencies can register online at www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado. The Town of Johnstown invites all current vendors not already registered on the purchasing group to do so today.
Registered vendors can access bids, related documents, addendum and award information. In addition, the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System offers a value-added alert service to notify vendors of new bids targeted to their industry, all addenda associated with those bids and advance notice of term contracts.
Vendor benefits include:
- Receive targeted bids
- Receive bid deadline reminders
- Notification of term contract expiration
- Access a single point of entry for all participating agency bids
- Contact a dedicated vendor support team
Vendors may register on Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System at www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado. Vendors may also contact BidNet’s vendor support team at 800-835-4603 option 2 with any questions regarding registration or the bid system.
