SUNNYVALE, CA, UNITED STATES, June 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The City of Sunnyvale, at the heart of Silicon Valley, has partnered with PlanetBids to modernize and streamline its procurement operations. This transition marks a strategic move toward more efficient, transparent, and inclusive procurement processes through the implementation of PlanetBids for Bid and Vendor Management.

As one of the Bay Area’s most dynamic cities, Sunnyvale continues to position itself as a leader in digital transformation. The adoption of PlanetBids aligns with the City's broader commitment to smart planning, innovation, and community development as laid out in the Sunnyvale Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP), approved by City Council on February 27, 2024.

The EDSP outlines four strategic priorities that will guide the City’s economic development efforts. The partnership with PlanetBids supports these goals by:

Expanding Vendor Access and Transparency: PlanetBids opens doors to a wider vendor pool, supporting Sunnyvale’s initiatives to prioritize regional collaboration and equitable access to procurement opportunities.

Streamlining Processes for Business Support: The platform simplifies procurement operations, assisting small to medium-sized non-retail businesses in navigating the bid process digitally and gaining visibility with the City.

Improving Efficiency in Development and Review: With centralized bid and vendor management, internal staff can more easily manage project workflows and ensure smooth vendor engagement and communication.

Contributing to Retail Vibrancy and Local Economic Growth: More accessible procurement practices help ensure diverse, qualified vendors can more readily participate in City initiatives.

“We are truly honored to welcome the City of Sunnyvale to our growing family of municipal clients in California,” said David DiGiacomo, Chief Executive Officer at PlanetBids. “We’re grateful for their trust in our system and pleased that the ability to leverage existing regional contracts made the approval process more seamless.
