Information for Suppliers (Vendors)
Suppliers (vendors) who market products and services to the State of Missouri need to be aware the State of Missouri launched a new system, MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS to host the new Bid Board, bid opportunity notifications, and supplier registration.
Supplier Registration
Supplier (vendor) registration for Missouri’s new system, “MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS,” is now live and ready for suppliers to register. With solicitations (bidding) functionality also now live, and with contracts, orders, and payment functionality planned for release next year, registration in the new system is vital for suppliers to avoid any gaps or delays with your state business interactions.
Until the full transition of all functionality is complete, the State will be operating both out of the MissouriBUYS (WebProcure by Proactis) system, and the new MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS system, so suppliers need to make sure they are registered in both systems. Prior registrations in MissouriBUYS (WebProcure by Proactis) will not be transferred to MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS.
For solicitations now being issued, the automatic email notifications to suppliers of new bid opportunities will only be generated from supplier registrations in MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS. Additionally, to respond to the new solicitations being issued, suppliers must be registered in MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS.
Bid Postings
The State’s bids are posted on the MissouriBUYS Bid Board. With the State’s transition of solicitations functionality now live in MissouriBUYS powered by MOVERS, the MissouriBUYS Bid Board will still have a pathway to view all bids issued prior to the State’s September 18, 2024, transition as well as the pathway to view all new solicitations issued as of September 18, 2024, in MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS:
- For solicitations issued before September 18, 2024, refer to the MissouriBUYS (WebProcure by Proactis) Bid Board.
- For solicitations issued on or after September 18, 2024, refer to the NEW MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS Bid Board.
Suppliers must be registered in the new MissouriBUYS, powered by MOVERS to respond to all new solicitations and to receive automatic email notifications of new bid opportunities that are aligned with their product/service offerings indicated in their supplier registration commodity code selections.
