The more bids we get, the better the chances are that we will be able to get fair pricing and reliable work from our vendors. Participating with the Tennessee Purchasing Group allows us to post our bids and reach more vendors, which then creates more competition for the bid process," said Terry McKee, Procurement Director of Knoxville's Community Development Corporation when asked why their department decided to join the Tennessee Purchasing Group.
