Arizona University Projects Savings with eBridge Partnership

An Arizona University partnered with eBridge, on their 2nd event, for the purchase of 91 Panasonic Projectors.  The purchase price included a 4-year factory authorized warranty.   Of the 8 participating suppliers, one was not approved through their corporate office to participate in a reverse auction.  eBridge offered the option to enter their “one-and-done” bid, which is similar to the traditional paper process of submitting one bid.   The supplier did not miss the opportunity to gain the Universities business and participated by entering their final bid.  During the 53 minute competitive event, 106 bids were placed with 24 first place turnovers and a spread of 0.13% between 1st and 2nd place, showing true market value.
