Exciting news for public procurement professionals! SOVRA (formerly bidnet) has announced a strategic partnership with Pavilion that brings cooperative purchasing intelligence directly into the procurement workflow.
Through this integration, procurement teams can now search Pavilion’s extensive library of cooperative agreements directly within SOVRA’s project initiation process – helping agencies reduce unnecessary solicitations, promote contract reuse, and deliver value to their communities faster.
“Integrating with Pavilion is a strategic expansion of our platform, embedding cooperative purchasing intelligence directly into the end-to-end buying experience,” said Mike Cook, Chief Product Officer at SOVRA. “It strengthens our capabilities at the earliest stages of the purchasing process, enabling agencies to discover cost-effective cooperative contracts in real time and make faster, smarter, and more compliant purchasing decisions.”
Mariel Reed, CEO and founder at Pavilion, adds: “Pavilion’s mission is to unlock better purchasing outcomes through transparency and collaboration. We are removing barriers and making it easier for agencies to build on trusted, existing contracts. Partnering with SOVRA makes that vision real for thousands of procurement professionals every day.”
Key benefits include accelerated project initiation, reduction in redundant efforts, promotion of collaborative procurement practices, and preservation of full compliance with applicable regulations.
