SOVRA Partners with Pavilion to Accelerate Public Procurement Efficiency with New Search Integration

SOVRA (formerly bidnet) announced a new integration with Pavilion that enhances how public procurement teams can discover and utilize existing cooperative contracts.

LATHAM, N.Y., May 2, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SOVRA (formerly bidnet) announced a new integration with Pavilion that enhances how public procurement teams can discover and utilize existing cooperative contracts. Through this partnership, SOVRA users can now access Pavilion's expansive library of cooperative agreements directly within the project initiation process, helping agencies reduce unnecessary solicitations, promote contract reuse, and deliver value to their communities faster.

Public procurement teams are increasingly challenged to do more with less. Teams are left to navigate complex regulations, tight budgets, and urgent public needs. This integration equips procurement professionals with a critical tool to start projects with greater speed, accuracy, and impact.

With the Pavilion Search Integration, SOVRA users can now:

    --  Search Pavilion's library of cooperative contracts directly within the
        project creation workflow
    --  Identify suppliers on pre-vetted contracts, reducing duplication of
        effort and lowering costs for public entities and suppliers
    --  Accelerate time-to-value while maintaining full compliance

"Integrating with Pavilion is a strategic expansion of our platform, embedding cooperative purchasing intelligence directly into the end-to-end buying experience," said Mike Cook, Chief Product Officer at SOVRA. "It strengthens our capabilities at the earliest stages of the purchasing process, enabling agencies to discover cost-effective cooperative contracts in real time and make faster, smarter, and more compliant purchasing decisions."

The Pavilion Search Integration represents a practical step forward in helping agencies harness the growing network of already vetted and available cooperative contracts. By making this information easily accessible at the earliest stages of project planning, SOVRA is helping procurement teams better align with their missions without compromising compliance.

Key benefits of the Pavilion Search Integration include:

    --  Accelerated project initiation by identifying available, shareable
        cooperative contracts before launching a new solicitation
    --  Reduction in redundant procurement efforts, freeing time and resources
        for strategic initiatives
    --  Promotion of collaborative procurement practices, aligning with public
        sector goals for transparency, efficiency, and stewardship
    --  Preservation of full compliance with applicable regulations and
        procurement standards

"Pavilion's vision is to empower public servants to deliver better, faster public services to improve the lives of all Americans. We're making it easier for agencies to share their work and lower the cost of doing business in the public sector. Partnering with SOVRA makes that vision real for thousands of procurement professionals every day," said Mariel Reed, CEO and founder at Pavilion.

The Pavilion Search Integration is now available to all SOVRA users and will continue to evolve based on the needs of public procurement teams.
