LONGMONT, CO—(Marketwired – June 09, 2016) – The Saint Vrain Creek Coalition 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 168 participating agencies from across Colorado to a large vendor pool and streamlines the bid and vendor management process. BidNet's Rocky Mountain E–Purchasing System provides notification to registered vendors of new relevant solicitations as well as any addenda and award information from 168 participating agencies from across Colorado.
The Saint Vrain Creek Coalition joined the Rocky Mountain E–Purchasing System in June 2016. The Saint Vrain Creek Coalition will utilize the system to streamline the purchasing process, including bid management, bid distribution and vendor relations. Rocky Mountain E–Purchasing System is a single, online location for managing sourcing information and activities and provides local Colorado government agencies the tools needed to minimize costs and save time throughout the purchasing process.
Before joining the system, the Saint Vrain Creek Coalition had not had the opportunity to distribute bids or manage a procurement process. The traditional, “paper” procurement process, which was the manner in which most agencies previously managed their procurement process, is being replaced by local government agencies throughout Colorado. In joining the Rocky Mountain E–Purchasing System, the Saint Vrain Creek Coalition looks to save time, reach out to more vendors automatically and achieve cost savings over the traditional paper–based bid process.
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 the Saint Vrain Creek Coalition can register online: www.RockyMountainBidSystem.com. Saint Vrain Creek Coalition 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 the Saint Vrain Creek Coalition's bid opportunities, but all participating agency bids. Vendors may register on the Rocky Mountain E–Purchasing System: www.RockyMountainBidSystem.com. 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.
Other local Colorado government agencies looking to switch from a manual bid process should contact the Rocky Mountain E–Purchasing System for a demonstration of the no–cost sourcing solution.
