muniSERV partnered with OMAA in 2016, not only to offer member and sponsor discounts to their members, but also to collaborate on the development of the CAO database for retired or transitioned CAOs. This is a database where municipalities who are looking for a replacement CAO for contract, interim or full time positions can find the CAO Job Seekers who are looking for CAO work.

Description: bids&tenders is an eProcurement platform designed to help suppliers find opportunities and submit bids online. The system centralizes public and private sector opportunities in one convenient portal. Membership with bids&tenders allows suppliers to submit bids to an unlimited number of opportunities across the entire network.

Partnership: muniSERV is a member of the bids&tenders Affiliate Network.  muniSERV entered into a partnership with bids&tenders in 2016 to support our “Post an RFP” feature. The benefit of this partnership is that when a municipality posts an RFP, Bid or Tender on muniSERV, it is automatically shared with bids&tenders’ thousands of vendors. Our municipal members report they are receiving more responses to their bid documents than ever before – and therefore, ultimately more competitive bids.

Our professional members enjoy the convenience of marketing their professional services to municipalities and finding contracts of interest to them, by joining both muniSERV and bids&tenders. Both memberships work together – your muniSERV membership helps you market directly to your municipal clients and get found, and your bids&tenders membership helps you find contracts and work.
