AUSTIN, Texas, March 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Austin-based GovOptics announced the launch of Beacon, a free solution and service that enables agencies to more easily create, post, distribute, and share solicitations with a large potential vendor market. With Beacon, vendors will avoid daunting registration processes and additional fees and costs, along with saving time through the streamlined processes.
"This service will improve the workflows for procurement professionals so even small agencies can easily formulate and submit clear and accurate solicitations," said Tiffany Kennedy, representing GovOptics, the Austin, Texas-based company starting the new service.
Beacon's main features include:
Beacon also offers automatic updates when new solicitations are released. Plan holders can simply fill out a form to receive emailed updates and a secure link to download attachments.
Beacon was created to yield more exposure to vendors for agencies and increase response rates on solicitations.
Agencies can now easily communicate with vendors and submit bids without starting from scratch, reducing time waste and submission errors.
"We have made Beacon completely free for the first 500 municipalities that use the service in the spirit of its intended design. The base, core service will be free for them, for as long as those original agencies use the service. In the future, we may add additional vendor sourcing features to our free product suite," the company stated.
Beacon's support, service and engineering units will be based at company headquarters in Austin.
