A partnership with eBridge Full-Service Reverse Auctions and a State Agency was a success. After 3 vendors actively competing due to our reverse auctions' competitive environment, 225 bids were placed. The bidders were engaged to such an extend that there were 99 first place turnovers with 86 time extensions. Finally, this 1-year contract with an initial budget of $1,026,050, saved close to $300,000. eBridge was pleased to support the process and to be a true partner in every step of the way.
