Regional Purchasing

SCRCOG Regional Purchasing Consortium

The SCRCOG Regional Purchasing Consortium is a voluntary purchasing cooperative serving our region’s fifteen municipalities. The Purchasing Consortium functions as a supplemental procurement office and sponsors competitive bids and request for qualifications/proposals covering a wide range of products and services requested by member municipalities. Members benefit from greater municipal efficiencies and cost savings by combining their purchasing power at a regional level.

For more information, please email Sabrina Davis, Municipal Services Coordinator.

How It Works

The Purchasing Consortium will put out a number of bids for commodities and services. SCRCOG staff and consultant(s) will develop the specifications, solicit members for requirements, produce and advertise the competitive bid or RFQ/RFP, and select the most qualified vendor(s). However, each municipality will make their own award based on their particular needs. Read the full SCRCOG Purchasing Consortium Guidelines & Rules of Procedure below.

Available On-Call Services

SCRCOG’s Regional Purchasing Consortium offers “On-Call” services to its member municipalities. Firms selected for On-Call Lists are competitively selected based on their qualifications. Each municipality will make their own award(s) in accordance with the projects available in their community. Municipalities also have the sole discretion to negotiate the compensation for a project. Municipalities are not obligated to use the On-Call List, and may choose to solicit for their own projects independently.
