Considering everything you do for your agencies, colleagues, and communities, there’s no question that public procurement professionals are on our “nice” list every year! Even though the holidays are coming fast, we couldn’t wait another minute to give you this special gift.

Bonfire Open Access Community Projects is a searchable repository of public projects from our growing database of over 500 public sector agencies across North America. And the best part? It’s completely free to use for public procurement professionals everywhere. Consider it our way to say thanks and send a little festive cheer this holiday season.

Tens of thousands of templates, all wrapped up in a bright red bow

Procurement teams can get requests for everything from pothole patching to software to PPE. When facing new or unfamiliar projects, you might have to spend hours searching the web for RFP templates.

How much time could you save if you never had to start another RFP from scratch again? With a large and growing database of RFx templates available, Bonfire Open Access Community Projects is designed to help make your busy job easier:

  • Search tens of thousands of public projects and filter by location, project type, organization, and more
  • Draw from thousands of new projects added monthly from over 500 public sector agencies
  • Use the tool completely for free if you’re a public procurement professional
  • Free up time for higher-level, strategic tasks (and hopefully a little festive decorating, cookie eating and cozying up by the fire this holiday season!)

Unwrap the gift of time

Helping public procurement teams work more efficiently is a critical element of what we do at Bonfire — and so is facilitating collaboration within and between agencies. With Bonfire Open Access Community Projects, teams get best-in-class examples of successful RFPs to model their own projects, eliminating the need to create net-new documents.

Here’s what Bonfire CEO Omar Salaymeh had to say: “Our data found that public agencies ran 39% more projects in 2021 compared to 2020, and with the Biden administration’s newly-approved Build Back Better infrastructure funding, we believe that number is going to skyrocket. We’re making Bonfire Open Access Community Projects free to all public procurement teams everywhere, making it easy to access resources from their peers and effectively helping them spend less time and effort physically drafting RFP documents.”
