LAGO VISTA, Texas, July 11, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The City of Lago Vista announced it has joined the Texas Purchasing Group and will be publishing and distributing upcoming bid opportunities on the system. Bidnet Direct's Texas Purchasing Group connects over 50 participating agencies from across Texas to a large vendor pool and streamlines the bid and vendor management process. The City of Lago Vista invites all potential vendors to register online at http://www.bidnetdirect.com/texas/lagovista.
The City of Lago Vista joined the purchasing group in June 2023. The City of Lago Vista will utilize the system to streamline the purchasing process including bid management, bid distribution and vendor relations. The Texas Purchasing Group is a single, online location for managing sourcing information and activities and provides local Texas government agencies the tools needed to minimize costs and save time throughout the purchasing process.
Before joining the system, the City of Lago Vista was distributing bids and managing the procurement process manually. The traditional, "paper" procurement process is being replaced by local government agencies throughout Texas. In joining the Texas Purchasing Group, the City of Lago Vista looks to save time, reach out to more vendors automatically and achieve cost savings over the traditional paper-based bid process.
The Texas Purchasing Group expands an agency's vendor pool and enhances vendor competition without increasing distribution costs. In addition to the existing vendors on the Texas Purchasing Group, all vendors looking to do business with the City of Lago Vista can register online: http://www.bidnetdirect.com/texas/lagovista. The City of Lago Vista 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 Texas Purchasing Group 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 City of Lago Vista bid opportunities, but all participating agency bids.
"Our valued vendors can now save time and paper. Plus, they not only have direct access to our open bids, but those from other agencies throughout the state. We invite all of our current vendors to register on the Texas Purchasing Group to start receiving business opportunities," stated Eric De La Cruz, Procurement Manager of the City of Lago Vista.
