VTBuys will revolutionize the way we procure commodities and services by transitioning from many manual paper-based processes to a centralized, automated, and streamlined processes. It also re-imagines the way we engage our suppliers and provide customer service.

The new solution will become the primary platform for the State of Vermont to perform sourcing (competitive solicitations), contracting, supplier management, and procurement activities. It will be available to all agencies, departments, and suppliers

The project aims to:

  • Promote a business-friendly environment and make it easier to do business with Vermont;
  • Modernize procurement with built-in compliance and guided workflow; and
