Where New Hampshire posts its bids

State bids: Bureau of Purchase and Property - Current Bids. The Department of Administrative Services' Bureau of Purchase and Property buys most goods and non-construction services for state agencies and posts its bids here. Several agencies (for example DHHS, DOT and DoIT) also run their own procurement pages.
Register as a vendor: Online Vendor Registration. Registering makes you an authorized state vendor. A purchase order or contract is awarded only to a vendor that is registered and in good standing with the State.
Technology buying: Department of Information Technology (DoIT) - Vendor Resources and Procurement. DoIT is one of the state agencies with its own procurement page, linked from the state's APEX Accelerator list of agency purchasing sites.
Free bid coaching: New Hampshire APEX Accelerator: the state's APEX Accelerator helps small businesses with registrations and proposals at no cost.

Good to know

Many New Hampshire state agencies have their own procurement functions and post RFPs, RFQs and RFIs directly, so you need to watch individual agency sites as well as the central bid list. source
NH APEX Accelerator runs a free Bid Match Program that sends daily bid notices matched to your products or services. source
Manchester's purchasing site offers a free email announcement service for new bids, but it does not cover every City department. source

Before you bid

Registering takes time, so do it before you find the perfect bid: how to get registered, and how to write a capability statement (with a free template).
