Our Bid Board is updated daily. The procurement process starts with a request or requisition from a department. Combining requisitions for like items from several agencies into one bid document often reduces the cost to us by allowing purchases of larger quantities.
Buyers formulate the bid documents in order to procure particular items.
The specifications for the items being solicited on the bid document are one of the most important elements of the bid invitation. Clear specifications must be written in order to provide a common basis for competitive bidding and ensure understanding between the buyer and prospective bidders as to the exact nature of the commodity or equipment to be procured. The terms and conditions are another important aspect of bid invitations. The terms and conditions always tell how to submit a bid. Terms and conditions also address delivery instructions, how the bid will be awarded, literature and sample submissions.
