REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
Carefully writing an RFP is important so that it properly captures all of the costs while allowing for the lowest possible bids.
THE VELOCITY ADVANTAGE
Velocity Procurement Administrators, LLC is a full-service, third party procurement administrator for unit-based procurement contract programs.
Keep it simple. In a highly regulated environment with regular interaction with attorneys, engineers and auditors, we keep the client facing interactions simple and easy, so your Council of Governments expect to move quickly in an environment historically slow paced.
PUBLIC BIDDING
& AWARDS
Public bid laws can be complicated to properly navigate and meet all of the requirements because of required disclosure documents and compliance verifications.
CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
After a contract is awarded, managing the contract requires regular audits, legal reviews, engineering audits and compliance verifications, on top of accounting costs.
