What is VTBuys?
VTBuys is a comprehensive e-procurement system that is replacing Vermont's existing manual system.
It will be a single-stop shop for businesses to register as suppliers, submit all paperwork, sign up for bid notifications, and complete all of their transactions with the state.
For state employees, it will mean consolidated data entry, a streamlined and tailorable RFP process, a user-friendly shopping experience, and integration with VISION and STARS.
We anticipate that VTBuys will bring more suppliers, both local and regional, to bid for state work, which will in turn lead to a better range of options in purchasing.
Strategic Goals and Benefits
Project Update:
User Acceptance Testing (UAT), which is one of the last phases before VTBuys goes live, started in late July and is expected to run for 10 weeks. Key VTBuys users from agencies are currently testing the system by using it for their normal purchasing and contracting tasks and reporting any errors they experience to the project team. Selected suppliers will also be participating in UAT . UAT tester input will be critically important for making sure VTBuys works smoothly for all users.
The project team continues to work on outreach to our supplier community, which will ramp up as training becomes available and the State moves toward a go-live date for VTBuys.
