New Procurement Website for the Water and Wastewater Industries
Website provides access to water and wastewater contract opportunities from around the world.
Detroit, Michigan (PRWEB) February 6, 2006 -- There is a new international procurement website for the water and wastewater industries. Www.h2bid.com is a global procurement portal exclusively dedicated to the water and wastewater industries. The site is for water and wastewater utilities and their vendors. H2bid allows utilities to post contract opportunities, and allows vendors to search and download the contract opportunities. Posting and searching is free, but there is a small fee ($7.95) to download the full details of a contract opportunity. Contract opportunities can be searched by categories (which are further divided into subcategories): Country, UNSPSC Code (United Nations Standard Products and Services Code), Document ID, or Keyword. Here are a few recent contract opportunities posted on H2bid:
- a water system construction project
- pump station upgrade
- a bid seeking cooling water chemicals
- repair of an elevated water tank
- construction of a new wastewater treatment plant
- various types of consulting services contracts
Users can find all versions of contract opportunities from around the world, including requests for bids, requests for quotes, requests for tenders, and requests for information. Users can even select a contract opportunity and save it in a personal bid folder for later review. Users can sign up for free email alerts where you are notified by email when a contract opportunity is posted in one of your pre-selected categories. Buyers can also use H2bid’s extensive database of contract opportunities to get ideas on how to write their own contract opportunities.
H2bid has Regular Users and Subscribers. There is no charge to register and become a Regular User. Regular Users pay $7.95 to download the full details of a contract opportunity. For $5.25 per month, Subscribers can download the details of a contract opportunity for only $4.95. All users can post a contract opportunity for free.
H2bid.com is owned by H2bid, LLC. The idea for the company originated with Glenn Oliver. Oliver previously served as one of the seven members of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Board of Commissioners, which oversees water and wastewater services for 8 Michigan counties, as well as the City of Detroit. “In that role I realized that there were billions of dollars being spent in the industry, but the utilities were often not getting the most competitive bid,” Oliver said. “There was no central place where utilities and vendors could find each other. If a water or wastewater utility announces a multi-million dollar contract opportunity, anyone in the world should be able to find and bid on it, particularly because public dollars are being spent.”
Any utility (or company) can post a water or wastewater contract opportunity on H2bid for free. Posting only takes a couple of minutes. When posted, the contract opportunity becomes immediately available on the Internet. The site has been live for approximately 90 days and has accomplished a Google Page Rank of 5 out of 10. In January the site had 65,000 visitors from 32 countries.
