(PRWEB) May 10, 2018 -- Cripple Creek-Victor School District announced today that it has joined the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, a regional purchasing group that helps local governments post, distribute and manage RFPs, quotes, addendums and awards online.

The Cripple Creek-Victor School District invites all vendors to register online with the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System to access its upcoming solicitations by visiting http://www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado.
The Cripple Creek-Victor School District joined the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System in May. In joining, the Cripple Creek-Victor School District has become the 212th participating local government agency utilizing the system to streamline their purchasing process. The Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System is a single, online location for managing sourcing information and activities and provides local Colorado and Wyoming government agencies a method to minimize costs and time delays associated with their procurement process. Cripple Creek-Victor School District was distributing bids and managing their procurement process manually before joining the system. In joining, the Cripple Creek-Victor School District looks to save time, increase competition and achieve cost savings over the traditional paper-based bid process.
Cripple Creek-Victor School District now has access to an extensive vendor pool, thereby enhancing competition without increasing distribution costs. In addition to the existing vendors on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, all vendors looking to respond to bids with local government agencies can register online at http://www.bidnetdirect.com/colorado. Cripple Creek-Victor School District invites all current vendors not already registered on the purchasing group to do so today. Vendor registration is easy and takes only a few minutes online.
Registered vendors can access bids, related documents, 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 associated with those bids and advance notice of term contract expiration. A robust NIGP code category list allows vendors registering to find the correct codes and receive matched bids.
“By using the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, our valued vendors can now access not only our open bids, but those from other municipalities, counties and school districts throughout the state. In addition to the time savings we anticipate, our vendors will also benefit from registering in one location for all local bid opportunities. We invite all of our current vendors to register or contact the vendor support team with any questions,” stated Les Lindauer, Superintendent of Cripple Creek-Victor School District.
