Selling to Governments and what to know before you do !
States invest tremendous amounts of resources and money to deliver the correct solutions at the best possible price for citizens of their State. And they do this with State Purchasing Vehicles like OMNIA, Texas DIR and National Cooperatives like NASPO ValuePoint. Additionally, these procurement leaders promote best practices, education, professional development, research, and a host of innovative procurement strategies.
But while there is no shortage of opportunity to sell to government, complex, risk-adverse government procurement processes can make even the most seasoned salesperson cringe.
Because government executives are responsible for taxpayer dollars, they are held to different standards than their private sector counterparts. Government purchasing can also be subject to legislative, media and voter scrutiny.
Personal contact matters
Prior to any procurement, be part of the conversations defining both the problem and the solution to government’s challenges.
Use your communication strategy and relationship building opportunities with government leaders to best identify and frame the problem in their context and start early.
Attend conferences and networking events and participate on advisory boards to be an active voice in the government technology community. It will take time, but being at the table early is pivotal in growing market share.
A few ways Government agencies buy
Contract Vehicles
There are multiple purchasing contract methods available to government agencies. which include Statewide Contracts, Annual Contracts, Master Contracts, Blanket Contracts, Multiple Award Schedules and Cooperative Purchasing Agreements.
Share Services
In a shared service model, traditionally one agency will procure a technology for multiple agencies and pass proportional cost to other agencies through an inter-local agreement. This type of arrangement or contract is normally regionally based.
Partners & Resellers
These types of organizations can be used to extend or scale your reach within the government vertical through existing contracts and relationships. Many companies use a combination of a national or regional channel partner, reseller, and service integrator.
Formal Requests
This method of procurement is typically used for higher-dollar or more complex projects. This purchasing process is where government agencies will issue a formal request for information (RFI) or request for proposal (RFP) to which companies can respond.
Subscriptions
The subscription model has entered government procurement processes through the rise of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business models. Subscription contracts are normally annual or monthly recurring revenue models that automatically renew.
Sole Source
These contracts are issued for a single company and often do not require an agency to go through the formal bid process. Sole source contracts are written when the commodity or service cannot be purchased from multiple vendors and/or it’s a unique solution.
