Case Study: Barnstable County streamlines cooperative purchasing with Euna Procurement

Barnstable County Streamlines Cooperative Purchasing Across 15 Towns With Digital Procurement

Barnstable County, the regional government for Cape Cod, Massachusetts, was struggling with manual, paper-based procurement processes. Their one-person procurement team, led by Chief Procurement Officer Jennifer Frates, found it challenging to manage cooperative bids for 15 towns. The County's reliance on spreadsheets, handwritten bid submissions, and email coordination was inefficient, time-consuming, and prevented data-driven decision making, ultimately limiting their ability to deliver value to citizens.

By implementing Euna Solutions' eProcurement platform, Euna Procurement, the County centralized its purchasing processes. The solution automated bid tabulations, provided a centralized platform for collaboration, and offered valuable data insights. This resulted in massive time savings, with bid evaluations that once took hours now completed in minutes. Euna Solutions enabled the County to deliver projects faster, achieve cost savings, and focus on more strategic, data-driven planning to better serve its communities.
