Case Study: City of San Diego achieves procurement efficiency and automation with PlanetBids

City of San Diego Finds Efficiency, Automation with PlanetBids

The City of San Diego, the eighth-largest city in the United States, required an efficient and automated solution to manage its extensive procurement processes for contracts totaling over $1 billion annually. To address this challenge, the city partnered with vendor PlanetBids to implement its end-to-end digital procurement system for creating and releasing a high volume of solicitations.

The solution from PlanetBids provided complete automation for the city's Purchasing and Contracting Department, streamlining the creation of RFPs, ITBs, RFQs, and RFSQs. As a result of using PlanetBids, the City of San Diego has efficiently managed its procurement for over a decade, processing 126 formal solicitations in a single year and making the bidding process significantly easier for its vendors and suppliers.
