Simplify your public procurement process

Public buying isn’t easy. Whether you’re purchasing hundreds of computers for a school district or a single truck for a fire department, every purchase you make needs to satisfy a rigorous public solicitation process. Developing a Request for Proposal (RFP), evaluating proposals, and awarding contracts while adhering to complex laws and regulations takes times and meticulous attention to detail. We can help. 

At Sourcewell, we streamline public procurement with cooperative purchasing. This method involves government procurement conducted by, or on behalf of, one or more government units, allowing other government units to leverage these contracts.

Cooperative contracts make public buying easier

Sourcewell conducts competitive solicitations on behalf of eligible government entities. Harnessing the buying power of thousands of participating agencies, we award highly competitive contracts to high-quality suppliers. Public agencies across the U.S. and Canada can then use these awarded contracts after completing their due diligence. Using Sourcewell cooperative contracts streamlines the competitive solicitation process, allowing you to spend more time serving your community.
