City of Mississauga Takes a Giant Leap in Strategic Procurement

Online, November 23, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The City of Mississauga has partnered with Biddingo.com, Canada's leading electronic tendering solutions provider. Mississauga's continuous effort to be open, fair and transparent has led the City to move forward and utilize the most effective and efficient method to advertise and distribute bid documents - Biddingo.com. All of the City's procurement related information will now be available at its central procurement page: www.Biddingo.com/Mississauga.

Vendors will no longer need to drive to the purchasing desk to purchase procurement documents, or to request amendments via email. City of Mississauga's bid advertisements, electronic bid documents, document takers lists, and bid results will now be available through the procurement page. Suppliers interested in doing business with the City must complete its Online Vendor Application form on this page; the City will now use this database to directly notify and invite suppliers to bid.

"The City of Mississauga has chosen Biddingo because of its proven track record of providing a high degree of professional service to Public Sector Organizations (PSOs) like ourselves. The City is looking forward to departmental savings and reduced administrative tasks by automating the tendering process, and diverting those tax dollars into places where they are needed the most. With Biddingo's service, Mississauga will definitely become a leader in automation, and become a model for other municipalities to follow" explains Marlene M. Knight, Manager of Materiel Management at the City of Mississauga.

"We are extremely pleased to be working with the City of Mississauga towards the automation of several key functions of its purchasing process, which will provide savings and efficiency for both the City and its vendors", says Daryl Chong, General Manager at Biddingo.com. "We are able to add exceptional value to Mississauga's procurement process through our vendor management and strategic sourcing modules, reinforced by our broad and ever-expanding supplier reach. Hundreds of our partners have already realized the benefits that we are about to offer the City of Mississauga."
