The cost savings are an obvious benefit of the program, but there are others:
• Save time comparing quotes and products.
• No minimum order requirements.
• Freight and delivery charges are included in vendor’s bids.
• Vendors abide by the "Local Government Prompt Payment Act" allowing agencies 30 days from receipt of invoice to have it approved and another 30 days to make payments.
