I’m happy to recommend the services of eBridge. The guys I personally dealt with were quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had and made sure that the entire process was smooth and painless. Our agency saved about 10% over our previous year’s waste hauling contract cost, and we are now confident that the maximum savings were realized by using the reverse auction process.

“eBridge brought a level of expertise to the table that minimizes public expenditures to the greatest extent possible. eBridge expands the database of qualified vendors which provides greater opportunities for offers. Prior to the bid event eBridge provides individual training to each vendor ensuring there is a complete understanding of what is required in order to submit responsible and responsive offers. eBridge also handles all the administrative duties normally assigned to the purchasing agent associated with the dissemination of bid documentation ensuring that consistency, transparency, and integrity is achieved throughout the process. I would highly recommend using eBridge if the opportunity arose to enhance your organization’s ROI wherever possible.”
