Trillium Lakelands District School Board Modernizes Procurement with Biddingo.com

Nov. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- In a concerted effort to increase purchasing efficiencies, and ensure compliance with the Agreement on Internal Trade to be open, fair and transparent, Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) has partnered with Biddingo.com, Canada’s leading electronic tendering solutions provider. Dick Kearns, Purchasing Manager at TLDSB initiated this partnership with Biddingo.com to assist the Board in providing vendors with a timely and cost saving mechanism to view and bid on the Board’s opportunities.

Mr. Kearns adds that all vendors must now complete TLDSB’s online vendor application at www.Biddingo.com/tldsb to be invited to bid on its procurement opportunities. Existing and any suppliers interested in doing business with TLDSB can now access its formal competitive bid opportunities, bid documents, document takers lists, and bid results exclusively through Biddingo.com.

This initiative will strengthen the value of our service by providing suppliers with one-stop access to bid opportunities from TLDSB and more than 1,000 other public sector organizations (PSOs) across Canada”, says Daryl Chong, General Manager of Biddingo.com.

This widespread exposure results in the best competition in pricing and quality for these buyers, which translates into efficient spending of our tax dollars.”
