Procurement Shortcuts: How Co-Op Contracts Save Months of Local Government Red Tape

Traditional local government procurement is built for compliance, but it is notoriously brutal on project timelines. Between drafting RFPs, managing public notice periods, scoring vendor bids, and resolving cross-department disagreements, capital projects can stall for 3-6 months before work ever begins.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Forward-thinking mid-sized cities and public agencies are using cooperative purchasing to compress timelines from months to weeks—without sacrificing transparency or regulatory oversight.
Join Ethan Shutt from Sourcewell for an operational breakdown of how to navigate strict compliance frameworks without sacrificing project speed. This session goes beyond high-level theory to deliver an end-to-end look at the modern procurement lifecycle—from building early internal consensus to leveraging pre-vetted contracts
