Beta program
Keep your cooperative contract. We will handle the renewal.
Tejas Cooperative Partners prepares and manages cooperative proposals for vendors. Our beta program runs a full renewal engagement for incumbent vendors at no fee. 20 beta seats, 10 for BuyBoard incumbents and 10 for TIPS incumbents.
What we do on your renewal
- We track your successor solicitation and its addenda.
- We read the entire packet and build your checklist from the packet itself.
- We prepare the forms, documents, certifications, references, and pricing work the packet requires, from your confirmed company record.
- We bring the completed packet to you for review. You read the solicitation, review the packet, and approve it before we submit.
- You work through a client portal with your documents, questions, progress, and deadlines in one place.
Why this is free
Tejas is opening its platform and process to a first group of vendors in beta. In exchange for a waived fee, beta vendors give us direct feedback while they run a real renewal through the system. The fee we waive is the published Incumbent Re-Award fee of $12,500.
What beta vendors receive
- The beta renewal engagement at $0. No kickoff amount and no attainment amount for that engagement.
- Free renewals of the same designated contract for five years, one active engagement at a time.
- Additional engagements opened in that period at 50% of the published fee in effect when the engagement opens.
What we ask in return
- Patience while we fix issues the beta surfaces.
- Feedback at set points during and after the engagement, good and bad, including short polls we send during the beta, three or four in total, a few minutes each.
- A designated contact who responds within two business days during the live window, and a signer who can sign within one business day.
- If the engagement results in an award, permission to publish a case study of the experience, with your review of the text before it runs.
- Availability for occasional reference calls with prospective clients, scheduled through Tejas and capped.
Who this fits
