RFP-UC07-37 - PROCUREMENT CARD SERVICES

Summary of Specifications:
Ulster County is issuing a Request for Proposal to inform the private sector of a potential business opportunity to provide Procurement Card Services, in the form of a universal or multi card credit card only, to the departments of the County of Ulster. Ulster County intends for this Request for Proposal to result in the selection of one provider of Procurement Card Services. The County of Ulster desires to increase the efficiency and decrease the costs now required to make small purchases through a procurement card. The County of Ulster has (42) departments for which the purchasing department currently issues purchase orders for all small purchases using the procedures the procurement card is envisioned to eliminate. We are interested in a universal or multi-card credit card to be issued to departments for travel expenses including air fare, car rental, lodging, gas and purchasing of emergency goods or services and small purchases. The County of Ulster requests an implementation schedule including a schedule for the length of time needed to move from a pilot card program to a full operational program, and any other incidental time requirements to implement the procurement card program.
