In this school district’s fifth bid with BidBridge, 5 suppliers competed on a copy paper contract. The 5 suppliers placed a total of 76 bids over the course of the 35 minute bidding event, leading to 15 first place turnovers and a differential of only .19% between the first and second place suppliers at the conclusion of the bid.

This competition allowed this copy paper bid to beat the established state contract price by over $3.00 per case. Had the school system simply purchased their desired 18,480 cases on state contract they would have spent an extra $55,440.
