Local businesses will be encouraged to check the board for possible work.

This method of advertising your purchase notice is at no cost and available to businesses everywhere. It is not restricted to a newspaper circulation. It is user friendly and only takes minutes to complete. The text of the bid can be pasted from a word document. Posting on the bid board increases the exposure of your bids, which in turn assists agencies in realizing competitive bids.
