ROME, Ga., Jan. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The City
of Rome has officially joined the Georgia Purchasing Group, one of
bidnet direct's regional e-procurement solutions, providing vendors
throughout Georgia easy online
access to its upcoming solicitations. The City of Rome invites all vendors to register
online at http://www.bidnetdirect.com/georgia/cityofrome.
The regional purchasing group connects local governments with
vendors looking to do business with public agencies. On the Georgia
Purchasing Group, vendors seeking business with 20 participating
agencies can register online to gain access to a single point of
entry for opportunities throughout Georgia. By posting upcoming bids and RFPs on
the Georgia Purchasing Group, the City of
Rome ensures an entire community of vendors can view their
solicitation, download documents, and receive notification of
addenda. The vendors self-register and ensure their contact
information is up to date.
"Because we aren't the only agency posting and distributing
bids, the Georgia Purchasing Group provides the City of Rome more vendor competition, which we
hope will help cut costs," said Becky
Smyth, Purchasing Director of the City of Rome when asked why their department
decided to join the Georgia Purchasing Group. "We also like that it
can help our current vendors expand their business
opportunities."
The City of Rome invites all
local vendors to visit
http://www.bidnetdirect.com/georgia/cityofrome and register to
receive access to its upcoming solicitations as well as the
upcoming bids and RFPs from 19 other public agencies participating
