The University of Utah has transitioned to an enhanced e-procurement system within the university’s procurement offices, powered by Bidnet Direct by SOVRA.
The change upgrades the university’s long-standing digital bid management capabilities, offering a more streamlined and transparent process for tracking and managing solicitations. Existing and potential vendors are encouraged to register at www.bidnetdirect.com/utah/universityofutah to access all upcoming bid opportunities and resources.
With the updated solution, the university will be able to further optimize each phase of the bidding process, from initial publication to award, with greater efficiency and visibility. The university also gains advanced tools to monitor vendor activity, including insights into which vendors are actively engaging with specific solicitations. This added functionality enhances the university’s ability to manage and assess vendor interest in real time.
“Our transition to this enhanced platform reflects our commitment to advancing our e-procurement capabilities,” said Colette Brown, procurement manager at the University of Utah. “The procurement offices within the university now have immediate visibility into vendor engagement with our bid documents, from initial interest to proposal submission, which strengthens our procurement process and our ability to make informed decisions.”
Vendors engaged with the university are invited to register on Bidnet Direct to gain access to University of Utah solicitations, as well as bid opportunities from other participating agencies. Benefits of vendor registration include:
• Centralized access to opportunities from multiple agencies
• Notifications on contract expiration and new solicitations
