For Vendors

Region 7 is closed until July 6. 

 Region 7 ESC staff is at a lowered in-building capacity.  The building is not fully open.  To schedule an appointment with the Purchasing Staff, you must e-mail a request 24 hours in advance.

In order to become an approved vendor, companies must go through a bid process. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative facilitates thirty-nine (39) bids that are available at different times throughout the year.  Please note that submitting a catalog discount bid can place a company as an approved vendor through a multiple-vendor award; you are not bidding on any particular job/product/service/district.

  • Bid Notification Request: This enables a vendor to receive e-mailed notification of bid opportunities, submit bid responses, and view bid awards.
