Victoria, B.C. (March 9, 2020)
– The BC Construction Association (BCCA) has signed a new deal with eSolutionsGroup to
supply the back-end technology powering BCCA’s construction procurement
platform BidCentral.
BCCA and BC’s four Regional Construction Associations have always been leaders in providing plan room services, launching the first province-wide electronic system more than 20 years ago. As BidCentral, that original solution has grown into BC’s largest construction bidding marketplace, serving over 10,000 businesses specialized in ICI construction of both public and private sector projects.
“This agreement with eSolutionsGroup sets the stage for BidCentral to continue serving BC’s construction community with the best platform, service, and content,” said Sue Connors, CEO, BidCentral. “We’re very excited about the powerful service we are able to provide to our members and clients.”
During its 20 years in business, eSolutionsGroup has specialized in providing integrated technologies and advanced mobile applications, including their flagship product bids&tenders, to more than 300 public sector clients across North America. In the past year, the Ontario Construction Alliance Association and its seven regional construction associations also developed their procurement platform, LINK2BUILD, using a digital procurement platform by eSolutionsGroup.
“We’re thrilled that eSolutionsGroup will make it easier than ever for BC’s construction industry to conduct the business of procurement efficiently and effectively,” said eSolutionsGroup Principal and bids&tenders Product Owner Alison Carden. “We pride ourselves in providing innovative solutions in partnership with our clients to meet their unique and complex needs.”
BidCentral will retain its brand name and continue to be managed by the BCCA on behalf of the four Regional Construction Associations, whose Project Services staff will continue to provide BidCentral support to members. More information regarding product enhancements and platform integrations will be forthcoming. BidCentral will launch on the eSolutionsGroup platform by April 1, 2020.
