This move is expected to bring a range of benefits to the city, including increased access to a wider range of suppliers and vendors, as well as streamlined procurement processes.<\/p>\n<p>The CPG is a free online platform that connects local government agencies with suppliers and vendors across California. By joining the CPG, the City of Oceanside will be able to access a vast network of pre-qualified suppliers, making it easier to find the products and services they need at competitive prices.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to providing access to a wider range of suppliers, the CPG also offers a range of tools and resources to help streamline the procurement process. This includes an online bid management system that allows agencies to post and manage bids, as well as a contract management system that helps track and manage contracts with suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>By using these tools, the City of Oceanside will be able to save time and resources on procurement, allowing them to focus on other important tasks. This is particularly important for smaller agencies that may not have the resources to manage complex procurement processes on their own.<\/p>\n<p>The CPG also offers a range of training and support services to help agencies make the most of the platform. This includes webinars, training sessions, and one-on-one support from procurement experts.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the addition of the City of Oceanside to the CPG is a positive development for both the city and the platform. By joining the CPG, the City of Oceanside will be able to access a wider range of suppliers and streamline their procurement processes, while the CPG will benefit from the increased membership and participation of a new agency.<\/p>\n<p>As more local government agencies join the CPG, it is likely that the platform will continue to grow and evolve, providing even greater benefits to its members. For agencies looking to streamline their procurement processes and access a wider range of suppliers, joining the CPG is a smart and cost-effective choice.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"plato-post-bottom-links\">\n<li class=\"plato-post-bottom-link-amplifi\">SEO Powered Content &amp; PR Distribution. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amplifipr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get Amplified Today.<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"plato-post-bottom-link-platoblockchain\">PlatoAiStream.
