HIGHLAND, N.Y., May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, the Town of Lloyd has officially joined the Empire State Purchasing Group to help streamline their bid distribution process. The Empire State Purchasing Group is one of Bidnet Direct by SOVRA's many regional purchasing groups throughout the nation, which offers participating local government agencies an e-procurement solution. The Town of Lloyd invites all vendors to register online with the Empire State Purchasing Group to access its upcoming solicitations by visiting http://www.bidnetdirect.com/new-york/townoflloyd.
Once registered with the Empire State Purchasing Group, vendors are able to log on to a centralized location to search for various bid opportunities, download necessary documents and submit their proposals. By publishing their upcoming solicitations to the regional purchasing group, the Town of Lloyd is able to reach more vendors in their area and throughout the state and provide them with an easier way to access all the bid opportunities available. The Empire State Purchasing Group also allows the Town of Lloyd a way to track all bid activity, including the details of vendors who have received or downloaded a bid. This also gives vendors a chance to see who else is interested in the bid and who they could potentially partner with if necessary.
"Using the Empire State Purchasing Group has made it easier to post our bids and reach more vendors," says David Plavchak, Supervisor of the Town of Lloyd. "We're able to publish our solicitations and the accompanying documents, any addendums, Q&A, provide vendors with plan holders' lists and most importantly, have the ability to track every step of the bid process. This is helpful to see who is truly interested in our bid and gives us crucial information on how to improve our process for future solicitations. Joining the Empire State Purchasing Group has truly been a huge improvement to how we go about posting and awarding bids."
The Town of Lloyd invites all local vendors to visit http://www.bidnetdirect.com/new-york/townoflloyd and register to receive access to its upcoming solicitations as well as the upcoming bids and RFPs from over 350 other public agencies who are also members of the Empire State Purchasing Group. Registered vendors also gain access to a team of experienced customer service support representatives and can upgrade their service to receive customized bid alerts, advanced notice of term contract expiration, and notifications of any posted addendum.
