The Prince George’s County Office of Central Services is pleased to announce the launch of SPEED (Strategic Purchasing & Efficient Evaluation Domain), an electronic procurement system for the County Government. SPEED is a SAP Ariba product that offers online strategic sourcing and contracting capabilities to enhance and streamline the procurement process for County Government and local businesses.
“When I took office, I promised to bring innovative solutions to the County Government to help streamline processes for residents and our business community,” said Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. “This electronic procurement system is our latest tool to support small and local businesses by making it easier to do business with the County Government.”
The cloud-based platform offers a digitized and simplified end-to-end procurement workflow in an integrated solution to drive consistency and efficiency. SPEED identifies qualified suppliers through the integrated Ariba platform to improve bid competitiveness. This cloud-based solution not only helps locate suppliers and get a price, but also defines and executes supplier selection, and creates contracts that connect to actual savings.
“We are Prince George’s Proud of the County’s new electronic procurement platform. Now more than ever, we need solutions that advance and enhance the County’s way of doing business and positions us as leaders in setting the pace,” said Jonathan R. Butler, Director of the Office of Central Services.
SPEED is the latest tool within The Business Highway, an online portal where newly developed business resources are located, including the Green Book opportunities guide and the County’s business certification system, Contract Certification and Compliance System (CCS). The Business Highway also includes a host of capacity building and training resources for County businesses.
