Bids and RFPS
The Town of Palm Beach utilizes a 100% electronic solicitation platform and contract management software. All solicitations, including Bids (ITB), Requests for Proposals (RFP), Requests for Qualifications (RFQ), and Requests for Information (RFI) will be released electronically through the online platform powered by EUNA Solutions. Responses by bidders or proposers must be submitted electronically through the same online platform.
The Town will no longer accept paper responses to solicitations, which is part of our goal to leave a greener footprint. The process is 100% electronic.
We are confident this new system will benefit our suppliers and proposers in terms of time and cost savings when responding to town solicitations. No more hand delivery of bid responses; no more wondering if Fed EX or UPS will deliver the documents on time. Responses will now be done from the comfort of our vendor's offices. The benefits to the Town are many: This fully integrated system includes project planning, contract awarding, and management. Vendors are required to register with the EUNA Solutions system for FREE. Registration is required to view the solicitation details and participate in the solicitations.
For formal solicitations, the Town will also post an advertisement in the Palm Beach Post newspaper, EUNA Solutions and utilize purchasing websites DemandStar and Public Purchase. Our goal is to secure as many qualified submittals as possible. All three platforms will direct the vendor to submit online through EUNA Solutions. Our contracted vendor, EUNA Solutions, has a vendor support hotline manned from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, to assist vendors with submittal issues.
To access current open Town solicitations, see all the backup documentation from EUNA Solutions, and submit your bid, please visit the ACTIVE/OPEN Solicitations link above. By accessing and reviewing, you are not obligated to submit. When preparing a bid or proposal in EUNA Solutions, you do not have to do it all in one session. After you log out, system will remember your work, and next time when you log in, system will pick at the same place you left.
If you need help with the EUNA platform or downloading any documents, you can contact the EUNA Service Desk directly by calling 1-800-354-8010 or emailing the EUNA Service Desk.
