The material bidding process with BidConnection is simple:
1. CREATE AN ORDER REQUEST
A bid administrator simply creates an order request by clicking
on items found in BidConnection’s large collection of online catalogs.
If that’s not easy enough, previous order requests can be copied to
create new ones!
2. PROCESS ORDER REQUESTS
Once the order request is complete it becomes available online to
participants (administrators, principals, teachers, clerks, etc.). Using
unique user IDs, each participant enters their own order requests.
3. GENERATE BID REQUEST
BidConnection compiles the order requests and generates a bid
request which is distributed to the participating vendors.
4. GENERATE VENDOR AWARDS
The bid requests are processed and the vendor awards are generated.
5. GENERATE PURCHASE ORDERS
And finally, the purchase orders are generated along with “drop”
(delivery) instructions.
For districts that like to create or participate in cooperative bidding,
BidConnection’s cooperative features make this arduous task a snap!
