SANDPOINT, Idaho, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The East Bonner County Library District announced it has joined the Idaho Purchasing Group and will be publishing and distributing upcoming bid opportunities on the system. bidnet direct's Idaho Purchasing Group connects 3 participating agencies from across Idaho to a large vendor pool and streamlines the bid and vendor management process. The East Bonner County Library District invites all potential vendors to register online by visiting http://www.bidnetdirect.com/idaho/eastbonnercountylibrarydistrict to access its upcoming solicitations.

The East Bonner County Library District joined the purchasing group in June. The East Bonner County Library District will utilize the system to streamline the purchasing process including bid management, bid distribution and vendor relations. The Idaho Purchasing Group is a single, online location for managing sourcing information and activities and provides local Idaho government agencies the tools needed to minimize costs and save time throughout the purchasing process.

Before joining the system, the East Bonner County Library District was distributing bids and managing the procurement process manually. The traditional, "paper" procurement process is being replaced by local government agencies throughout Idaho. In joining the Idaho Purchasing Group, the East Bonner County Library District looks to save time, reach out to more vendors automatically and achieve cost savings over the traditional paper-based bid process.

The Idaho Purchasing Group expands an agency's vendor pool and enhances vendor competition without increasing distribution costs.
