How to Become a Supplier
There are many benefits for suppliers who work with Medbuy. It's an opportunity to grow your business while providing Canada's health services providers with tremendous value. In return, the supplier community has always been able to depend upon the high-level contract compliance our Members adhere to.
So how do you become a Medbuy supplier? First, your company must be awarded a contract following a full RFP process. Our membership entrusts us with public monies and as such, Medbuy adheres to a fair and equitable sourcing process.
To facilitate the process and to make participation as easy and accessible as possible, searching for and bidding on contract opportunities is completed online in three simple steps:
Starting November 1, 2011, all suppliers wishing to find Medbuy opportunities and submit bids only have to visit one website - www.biddingo.com/medbuy.
1. Find Opportunities
We post all of our contract opportunities (Request for Proposals) at www.biddingo.com/medbuy.
Biddingo is a fee-based, public procurement website for provincial, municipal, education, crown corporation, construction and healthcare sectors across Canada.
Medbuy does not directly distribute a list of current opportunities or post a list on our website. As such, we strongly recommend that interested suppliers regularly monitor Biddingo for potential opportunities.
We do have a list of our existing contracts so suppliers can see the products and services currently available to our membership. Click here to view our existing contracts.
2. Register Online
We encourage all potential suppliers to register with Biddingo in order to download Medbuy RFP documents and access Biddingo's Electronic Bidding System to submit bids. A supplier can register for an account at any time and there is no need to wait for a specific contract opportunity to do so.
Access to the Biddingo Electronic Bidding System is required to submit a bid or response. We recommend that suppliers register for access in advance of an RFP event, since the process could take up to two (2) business days to complete.
3. Respond to RFP
Using Biddingo's Electronic Bidding System, you can submit bids for Medbuy opportunities electronically, directly through Biddingo. To access the Electronic Bidding System, you'll need to register as outlined above in step two.
For more information on the Electronic Bidding System and how to use it, please contact Biddingo at info@biddingo.com or (416) 756-0955.
