10. Myths about Biddingo.com
Myth: Biddingo.com takes
free information and sells it to vendors.
Fact: Our Research Department searches
government websites, newspapers and other publications for available bid opportunities.
Our Research Department conducts daily searches through hundreds of public Municipal, Academic, University, College, Libraries, School Board, Health Care Sector and other government websites for you. When business opportunities are located, we categorize and post them on Biddingo.com. Our subscribers receive a Bid Alert the following morning.
This is considered a time-saving service for our subscribers as it saves them time from searching for bids on hundreds of public websites. With Biddingo.com, they only need to come to one place.
Myth: Biddingo.com just
sells my documents.
Fact: Biddingo
is more than a bid publishing and bid distribution service. It offers
buyers with purchasing and vendor management tools. Suppliers get access to
sales leads, promotional tools, and B2B bidding. Bid documents are FREE
to Biddingo.com subscribers (unless buyers opt to charge them, then the
cost is passed onto the subscriber). Non-subscribers pay a reasonable one-time
fee for the documents for processing and handling.
Myth: Vendors have to pay to
get bid information.
Fact: Biddingo.com
offers an additional means for buyers to publish, distribute and promote their
bid notices. Vendors can still access bid information for FREE by
clicking through to your website. Vendors who subscribe to Biddingo.com
are paying around 60 cents per day for a service that notifies them immediately
of hundreds of available tenders, not just yours. They are paying for the service
Biddingo provides in finding bid opportunities from a variety of sources
nationwide, not the bid notice.
Myth:
I’ll have to outsource my document distribution to Biddingo.com.
Fact: With
Biddingo.com, you are not outsourcing. You are in complete control
of the procurement process. We do most of the clerical work for you, such as
sourcing vendors, publishing your bids, notifying vendors and distributing
bid documents and amendments, but you are not outsourcing.
Myth:
If I’m on Biddingo.com I can’t publish bids on my own
website.
Fact: You can publish bids on Biddingo
in addition to publishing bids on your site, or you can have vendors click
through to Biddingo.com to get the bid information for free! Many
buyers choose to use Biddingo.com exclusively for all their purchasing
needs as it provides a seamless and integrated procurement process. However,
some buyers choose to post on Biddingo in addition to posting on their
own website.
