In a commitment to promoting transparency, efficiency and cost-effectiveness in public procurement, the city of La Cañada Flintridge is pleased to announce its new partnership with PlanetBids, a pioneering software company specializing in e-procurement solutions.
This strategic partnership will assist in creating more streamlined and eco-friendly public procurement — the process of government enterprises purchasing goods and services — while ensuring optimal utilization of taxpayer funds.
The key objectives of this partnership are to:
- Enhance efficiency: The new eProcurement software will automate various procurement tasks to reduce administrative burdens and expedite procurement cycles.
- Take environmental responsibility: With the adoption of PlanetBids’ solution, LCF will significantly reduce the consumption of paper, fossil fuels and other resources associated with traditional procurement methods. This move aligns with the city’s commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint.
- Provide cost savings for taxpayers: Through increased competition, greater transparency and reduced administrative costs, the implementation of PlanetBids’ software will contribute to significant cost savings for taxpayers.
“We are confident that our collaboration with PlanetBids will improve our operations and is indicative of our priorities to modernize practices, reduce our environmental footprint and use taxpayer funds efficiently,” said LCF Director of Administrative Services Arabo Parseghian.
