The turnkey e-procurement solution will
modernize and improve the way suppliers do business with the
Government of Newfoundland and
Labrador
MONTREAL, Nov. 9, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - mdf commerce
inc. (TSX:MDF), a leader in SaaS commerce technology
solutions, is pleased to announce an agreement with the Government
of Newfoundland and Labrador to streamline the provincial
procurement process by implementing the MERX electronic procurement
system, part of its end-to-end Strategic Sourcing platform. This
agreement reinforces mdf commerce as a trusted partner for
strategic sourcing solutions across North
America.
Launched on November 4, 2020, the
solution implemented for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador achieves a key milestone in their
procurement transformation plan, which includes the modernization
of government procurement practices and improvements in service
delivery between government, citizens and businesses.
The new online system provides government procurement agents
with a complete and paperless procurement process while vendors
access a modern e-bidding system that includes self-serve vendor
profile management capabilities, customized open call notifications
and a start-to-finish online submission process.
"The Public Procurement Agency and Department of Transportation
and Infrastructure awards hundreds of millions of dollars in
contracts each year. These contracts range from office supplies to
constructing new buildings. This new e-procurement system will help
all suppliers - big and small - submit, view and track their bids
online and improve the way they do business with the Provincial
Government," stated Honourable Derrick Bragg, Minister Responsible
for the Public Procurement Agency.
"We are pleased to see the immediate success and uptake of the
solution as we continue to partner with and support the Government
of Newfoundland and Labrador throughout the vendor launch phase
which includes virtual introductory sessions to hundreds of vendors
eager to understand and use the new system," said Mark Eigenbauer, President, Strategic Sourcing
at mdf commerce. "This modern approach simplifies and
improves the ability for suppliers of all sizes to do business with
the Government of Newfoundland and
Labrador."
The system will also provide a "one-stop" source for procurement
opportunities from the broader Newfoundland and Labrador public sector by improving access to
opportunities posted outside Government of Newfoundland and Labrador departments.
