By publishing future solicitations on the Georgia Purchasing Group, Clayton County will be able to track every step of the process and have a more transparent bid process.

Government agencies using the Georgia Purchasing Group can track full business details of the vendors who view a request for proposal (RFP), download related documents, and verifies if the vendor saw an addendum.

With the Georgia Purchasing Group, we can also see whether or not a vendor who downloads our bids is a minority business, small business, or local, says Carol J. Rogers, Director of Central Services of Clayton County. This level of tracking, both pre-and post-award, was not possible from our website and it is very helpful for auditing and showing due diligence.
