How the E-Procurement System Works ...

• Meet with BidNet to customize to your liking our standard e-procurement system to ensure it meets your needs and fits with your current purchasing practices and methods.
  
  
• Decide whether you would like your system to be stand-alone (your agency and your vendors only) or open to other purchasing agencies in your region.
  
  
• Along with BidNet, notify all of your vendors to register on your new e-procurement system.
  
  
• Pick a date when you would like to "go live" and BidNet will schedule on-site training for you and your staff.
  
  
• Start issuing and posting bids, quotes, amendments, proposals right from your desktop!
  
  

The Benefits of an E-Procurement System Include:

• Save time, money and manpower by automating and streamlining many of your current procedures.
  
  
• Track and control who has your documents and amendments at any given time.
  
  
• Your entire vendor database is electronically stored and at your fingertips.
  
  
• Increase response time by speeding up the entire bidding process.
  
  
• Increased competition and decrease costs of purchases.
  
  
• Additional add-on modules are also available (free of charge), including reverse auctions, surplus sales, co-operative bidding and electronic bidding (if your local laws allow).
