POL - Innovations in Public Procurement 2009

  • YEAR CREATED: 2009
  • ENTITY TYPE: State
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: POL - Policies/Procedures
The document is a letter from Ron Pigott, the Director of the Texas Procurement and Support Services Division of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, to Tina M. Borger, CPPO, submitting an award submission for the 2009 Innovations in Public Procurement Award. The submission is for the Texas Smart Buy program, which is an online shopping cart system implemented by the Comptroller's office. The program allows customers to buy or lease a wide range of goods and services online, and provides transparency by making state term contracts and Texas Multiple Award Schedule (TXMAS) contracts available to the public. The system is continually being updated and improved, and has had a significant impact on public procurement in Texas. It has redefined the way procurement operates by providing pricing information to the public, fostering competition among contractors, and resulting in cost savings for the state. The letter also mentions that anyone interested in seeing the system may do so, indicating its accessibility for stakeholders and the public.
