Introducing the Cost to Procure Calculator, our new free tool developed with National Cooperative Procurement Partners to help public sector buyers estimate the costs of running a new solicitation versus leveraging a cooperative contract. This tool uses data from NCPP's RFP Tracking Project, which collected solicitation cost data from nearly 40 public entities, to estimate the key salary costs associated with running a new solicitation. By understanding these costs, buyers can make more informed procurement decisions, streamline processes, and better manage taxpayer resources.
