It’s hard to procure tech & services for local government
Repetitive and Expensive
Procurement often gets overly complicated with complex technical RFPs, causing delays, inefficiencies, and under-utilized solutions. Limited access to reliable, pre-vetted suppliers drives up costs and wastes valuable resources.
Regulatory Barriers
Legacy systems and services with legal structures that exist, but are complex to navigate and understand.
Time-Consuming Processes
Approvals in local government take too long, delaying vital projects. The lack of streamlined procurement tools means teams spend more time on paperwork than progress.
Limited Knowledge & Agility
Rapidly evolving technology demands agile procurement practices. Local governments often struggle to leverage external expertise to keep up with innovation and make informed decisions
The Facts
It takes an average of 87.1 personnel hours it takes to complete a single procurement project.
Nearly 50% of agency RFPs run into significant issues.
State and local government spending constitutes almost 15% of GDP.
Over half of procurement officers reported critical constraints without e-procurement.

Supported by our co-design process with agencies
“Shrink the time frame, because that would be a win for suppliers. That would be a win for all of our procurement agents.”
“The biggest problem is finding a list of good suppliers that have been vetted.”
“We haven’t found a one size fits all, so to have that to where it all seamlessly fits together and potentially ties into your major ERPs would be ideal for anybody.”
“It would be very useful to be able to go out and get proposals from suppliers that have cooperative contracts for the services or goods that we’re looking for.”
