Public Service Announcement - Town of Lincoln brings procurement online with bids and tenders
Lincoln, ON - (Nov. 3, 2020) -The Town of Lincoln is now using the bids&tenders eProcurement system to streamline procurement posting, evaluation and contract management online.
“This upgrade to our procurement system will allow us to better manage bid submissions, evaluation and contract management,” says Chief Administrative Officer, Michael Kirkopoulos. “By offering online bid posting and submission, the Town of Lincoln can improve purchasing transparency and make better use of public dollars for improved service delivery and cost efficiency.”
The Town of Lincoln is modernizing its procurement to meet the needs of its staff, suppliers and the community. By automating labour-intensive processes, streamlining communications and increasing transparency into opportunities, the Town can reduce costs and improve communication and convenience for stakeholders. Staff and suppliers can now oversee no-contact procurement projects entirely online, allowing them to comply with social distancing restrictions.
Suppliers looking to find their next opportunity with the Town of Lincoln can create an account on the town’s bids&tenders portal to review opportunities and submit responses. Suppliers will receive notifications of relevant opportunities posted by the Town, as well as from hundreds of other public, private and non-profit organizations using the platform. The automated bid compliance checker ensures bids are fully compliant before they can be submitted, minimizing the risk of disqualification due to minor errors.
This initiative is part of the Town of Lincoln’s efforts to become a leader in digital service delivery. Its Corporate Systems Master Plan provides a vision for digital delivery of effective and efficient services. Leveraging integrated technologies and online delivery will enable high-quality, simplified and convenient services for residents, employees, businesses and suppliers.
