NJPA - About Us - (Page 12) PROCUREMENT PROCESS 6) MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE NJPA BOARD Invitation for Bid Outline The recommendations of the Bid Review Committee are presented to the NJPA Board of Directors for final review and possible award. The NJPA Board has the final authority to issue or deny a procurement contract. A complete procurement file is organized and posted on our easily navigable website, offering the applicable evaluation, contract and solicitation documents where they can be reviewed by our Members. 7) POSTING APPROVED CONTRACT DOCUMENTS A procurement file is posted on our website, which includes the applicable evaluation, contract and solicitation documents. 8) DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING A JOINT MARKETING PLAN WITH AWARDED VENDORS NJPA works with both the Vendor and Member to educate people about the benefits and uses of an awarded contract. We work with the awarded Vendor(s) to educate and energize their sales and service teams. We advertise our awarded contracts in selected national publications and produce a full color hard copy catalog and maintain a web site offering of the contract opportunities. NJPA exhibits with Vendor Partners, in numerous national trade shows and provide break-out meetings presenting information at those trade shows on contract purchasing and cooperative opportunities available through NJPA. 9) REVIEWING AND MAINTAINING OUR CONTRACT THROUGHOUT ITS TERM Contracts are reviewed annually for their effectiveness. NJPA contracts are written with four-year terms and subject to annual renewals based on those reviews. As a result, NJPA provides a simple, structured, well-documented procurement contract in an effort to create a seamless process for all of its Member procurement needs. It is important to stress that NJPA does not eliminate Member responsibility for following the bid process, but rather, provides a nationally pre-competed option, so as not to duplicate the formal bid process. NJPA contracts offer value to our Members through: • • • Saving our Members the time and effort of facilitating their own competitive bid. Volume pricing discounts associated with a national purchasing alliance. The highest quality products and equipment provided by nationally acclaimed Vendors. 12
