Sebring shifts vendor registration to BidNet Direct; vendors must re-register
Summary
City staff announced a procurement-system change: Sebring has moved from Vendor Registry to BidNet Direct for solicitations; vendors must register on BidNet Direct to continue receiving bid notifications.
City purchasing staff told the Sebring City Council on Dec. 2 that the city has shifted its vendor-registration and solicitation-notification system from Vendor Registry to BidNet Direct.
Jamie Cook, the city's purchasing agent (referenced by staff), was cited as the contact for questions. Staff said existing vendor profiles on the old system will not transfer to BidNet Direct and that registration on the new platform is required for vendors to continue receiving notices about bids, quotes and solicitations. Free registration options are available.
Staff framed the change as an improvement in communication and vendor outreach. No ordinance or funding action was taken during the meeting on this item. Vendors were advised to contact the purchasing office with questions about the transition.
