Watch How CLM Improves SANDAG’s Contract Management Process

Watch How CLM Improves SANDAG’s Contract Management Process

Highlights from the webinar…
  • SANDAG’s growth signifies a need for a system that is centralized while also flexible.
  • SANDAG received a positive review from an auditor for having a system with the cleanest data.
  • Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) with a bid management system allowed SANDAG to work effectively and efficiently.

Given that San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) handles multiple transit agencies as part of being the Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Regional Transportation, the need for streamlined contract management is clear. In addition, SANDAG has diverse stakeholders – from mayors of the cities in San Diego County and representatives and advisors from the tribal lands and neighboring counties.

After 3+ years of utilizing Bidnet Direct’s CLM, SANDAG shared its experience of the transition from its old contract management system to Bidnet Direct’s CLM.

The Need for Improvement & Transformation

From 205 employees and 8 staff in contract in 2008 to 401 employees and 22 staff in contracts today, SANDAG needed a centralized system to accommodate all contract staff. With 1,285 active contracts and 50 solicitations in progress, a CLM with bid management is essential for SANDAG.

The System That Allows SANDAG To Become Compliant

The important aspects of a CLM system for SANDAG are for it to be flexible and help the organization be compliant with procurement policies and procedures. When SANDAG transitioned to Bidnet Direct’s CLM, it was able to customize the dynamic fields to allow for compliancy.  

“The Heart of What the Benefit is for A Contract Lifecycle Management System”

SANDAG is now able to create new strategies in record keeping and streamline its procurement and contracting with faster routing and faster executions. One outstanding benefit is the remote training that’s available, either for new staff or as a refresher for its existing staff.
