LINDEN, Mich., Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Deerfield Township announced today that it has joined the MITN Purchasing Group, a regional purchasing group that helps local governments post, distribute and manage RFPs, quotes, addendums and awards online. Bidnet Direct's MITN Purchasing Group provides notification to registered vendors of new relevant solicitations, any addenda and award information from over 270 participating agencies from across Michigan. All potential Deerfield Township vendors are encouraged to register online with http://www.bidnetdirect.com/mitn/deerfieldtownship to access upcoming solicitations.
Deerfield Township joined the purchasing group in August 2022. In joining, Deerfield Township has become the 271st participating local government agency utilizing the system to streamline the purchasing process. The MITN Purchasing Group is a single, online location for managing sourcing information and activities and provides local Michigan government agencies a method to minimize costs and time delays associated with the procurement process. Deerfield Township was distributing bids and managing the procurement process manually before joining the system. In joining, Deerfield Township looks to save time, increase competition, and achieve cost savings over the traditional paper-based bid process.
Deerfield Township now has access to an extensive vendor pool, thereby enhancing competition without increasing distribution costs. In addition to the existing vendors on the MITN Purchasing Group, all vendors looking to respond to bids with local government agencies can register online: http://www.bidnetdirect.com/mitn/deerfieldtownship. Deerfield Township 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 MITN Purchasing Group 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 MITN Purchasing Group, 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.
Vendors may register on the MITN Purchasing Group: http://www.bidnetdirect.com/mitn. Bidnet Direct'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 Michigan government agencies looking to switch from a manual bid process, please contact the MITN Purchasing Group for a demonstration of the no-cost sourcing solution.
