Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS)

The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) is a cooperative program that allows government entities, like schools and municipalities, to jointly purchase goods and services at lower costs. By pooling their buying power, members can access pre-negotiated contracts with suppliers, saving time and money while ensuring quality and compliance. TIPS simplifies procurement processes, making it easier for members to obtain necessary resources efficiently without the need for individual bidding. Overall, it promotes cost-effective purchasing through collaborative efforts among public organizations.
