During this panel, hear from NASPO and Sourcewell about cooperative contracts and the power of the nationwide procurement process. We will compare timelines to traditional "go to bid" strategies, discuss the competitively bid requirements and learn how faster procurement saves money. Additionally, a public safety end user will add their perspective about the benefits of procurement without the local responsibility of bidding.
