Want to Bid on Government Contracts in Delaware?
You’ll love this one-stop website…
Governor Jack Markell announced the launch Thursday of the State’s new online portal for agency bid solicitations, which will become the central repository for Request for Proposal (RFP) bids and Invitation to Bid (ITB) solicitations statewide. The new service will provide a one-stop shopping experience for businesses interested in bidding on a state contract. The portal can be found at http://bids.delaware.gov.
“This new one-stop site could bring more businesses and more bids to the table to help drive down costs on everyday items. It removes hurdles for businesses that want to partner with the state and gives everyone insight into what the state seeks to buy. It lets companies put people to work to build their business and create jobs instead of having to track dozens of sites to be sure they do not miss a chance to offer better prices or service to the state,” Markell said.
The launch of the vendor portal is the first piece of a two-part program geared toward centralizing statewide contract bid opportunities for local businesses. The second piece, which will be available to the public no later than August 1, 2009, is a vendor notification system, which will alert service subscribers to specific bid solicitations as soon as they are posted on the portal site.
