Unlock Business Opportunities with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts!

Did you know that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts spends billions of dollars each year on goods and services—from office supplies to consulting services—through its network of Statewide Contract vendors?

Join us for an informative workshop designed specifically for small businesses interested in learning how to do business with the state.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How the state procurement process works
  • An introduction to COMMBUYS, the Commonwealth’s online procurement platform
  • The benefits of becoming a Statewide Contract vendor
  • Practical next steps to get your business ready for state contracting opportunities

Bonus: On-the-Spot COMMBUYS Registration

Attendees will have the option to begin or complete their COMMBUYS vendor registration during the workshop. If you’re interested in registering, please bring your business information.
A helpful guide to what you’ll need: Registration Job Aid

 

This informative workshop is offered at no cost and is being sponsored in partnership with the North Shore Alliance for Economic Development and the Massachusetts Office of Business Development (MOBD).
