What is TIPS?
TIPS-USA is a national purchasing cooperative that leverages the purchasing power of governmental entities. It is available for use by more than 90,000 public and private schools, colleges, universities, cities, counties and nonprofit agencies. Through the Region 8 Education Service Center (ESC), the single lead agency commissioned by the Texas State Legislature, TIPS bids and awards contracts to vendors in accordance with procedures mandated by state procurement laws and regulations.
The Cooperative Purchasing Advantage
Because Duro-Last holds the contract with TIPS, local contractors authorized to install Duro-Last Roofing Systems work directly with Duro-Last to develop and submit comprehensive proposals for consideration. Public agencies save significant time and money by accessing a contract that has been awarded by a lead government agency. The ability to purchase directly from a contract reduces many of the costs associated with the traditional bid process.
