Save Time and Resources with Duro-Last's Cooperative Purchasing Program
Get more value with less red tape by utilizing Duro-Last’s streamlined procurement contract with The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS-USA). Through this contract, Duro-Last, along with local contractors authorized to install Duro-Last Roofing Systems, will deliver comprehensive roofing and roof asset management solutions designed to reduce your cost of procuring installed roofing systems and services.
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 non-profit agencies. Through a singlelead agency commissioned by the Texas State Legislature, Region 8 Education Service Center (ESC), 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 direct off of a contract saves many of the costs associated with the traditional bid process.
