Town Implements Digital Procurement System

The Town of Paradise is implementing a digital procurement system to enable all tender and procurement opportunities to be managed securely online through the Town’s website. Effective immediately, all bids and proposals will be accessed and submitted electronically, offering vendors a streamlined and more efficient process.

The Town’s procurement opportunities have always been posted to the website with vendors submitting proposals and required documentation in printed format, delivered or mailed to the Town Hall. With the bids&tenders digital procurement platform (paradise.bidsandtenders.ca) the process moves completely online as vendors will make all submissions digitally over the secure platform. Printed submissions will no longer be accepted.

The online system provides vendors with a platform to both access and respond to procurement opportunities. The systems offers many enhanced features for bidders including:

the ability to download all documentation rather than request paper copies,
submit bids online which eliminates paper-based submissions, and
mandatory information requirements which ensure accuracy and completeness of bids.

The system also assists staff with proposal evaluation, result notifications, and contract management.

Interested companies should visit the online system and register to receive notifications of new opportunities as well as, access to opportunity documents, addendums and submit bids. With the new system in place, the Town is no longer issuing hardcopy documents or accepting hardcopy submissions for any procurement opportunities. All registered vendors will receive automatic notifications on relevant opportunities.
