4 Purpose and Benefits MyFloridaMarketPlace…Connecting Buyers and Vendors. Expanding Opportunities. The new web based procurement system will help the State of Florida better direct, coordinate, evaluate, and resource its procurement process. MyFloridaMarketPlace focuses on partnering with vendors to provide them with direct access to state agencies, local governments and other eligible buyers. By aggregating spending on products and services, the State of Florida, through MyFloridaMarketPlace, will be better positioned to negotiate contracts with suppliers based on economies of scale. As a result, buyers will benefit from increased competition among the state's vendors, and vendors will benefit by reaching a greater purchasing audience. Additionally, MyFloridaMarketPlace further supports Governor Bush's "One Florida" program by expanding, through technology, opportunities for minority and women-owned businesses to conduct business with the state.

5 Purpose and Benefits Key Facts About MyFloridaMarketPlace 1.The Department of Management Services is leading this project in consultation with the State Technology Office and the State Chief Financial Officer. 2.The Department of Management Services and the Department of Transportation will be the first agencies to pilot the system, with all remaining Executive Branch agencies being phased into the new system by early 2004. Other eligible users such as local governments, universities, colleges, and public schools will have the opportunity to participate by the end of 2004. 3.All vendors who wish to sell to the state must register with MyFloridaMarketPlace and participate in the system. 4.There is no registration or ongoing subscription fee charged to vendors for participating in MyFloridaMarketPlace, however, the state will apply a 1% fee on all purchase orders. This 1% fee will replace all other existing fees and be charged on all transactions. State term contract vendors already pay a 1% fee to the state, and will continue under this new system. 5.The 1% fee goes toward offsetting the acquisition, implementation, and ongoing operations of the MyFloridaMarketPlace system. Once this is fulfilled, the fee will help pay for the development and ongoing operations of the MyFloridaMarketPlace system. 6.All electronic transaction data will be safely protected by an Internet security protocol known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

6 Purpose and Benefits The system will provide a centralized source of procurement information for the business community, and the ability for vendors to communicate to a broader buying audience. Key benefits for VENDORS include: 1.State of the art tools: Electronic, Internet-based transactions provide a consistent and more efficient way of doing business with the State - less paperwork and manual steps. 2.Increased access to buying entities: Registering with MyFloridaMarketPlace will provide vendors with access to all buyers using the system. 3.Enhanced economic development opportunities for small business: MyFloridaMarketPlace will enhance economic development opportunities for small business by increasing access to the "State" marketplace. 4.On-line interactive quoting and bidding: Vendors will be able to submit electronic responses to informal quotes and formal sealed bids.

Key benefits for BUYERS include: 1.More Choice: MyFloridaMarketPlace provides online access to the system's registered vendors and their products/services. Additionally, Agencies will have online access to procurement vehicles such as State Term Contracts, quoting, and sourcing. 2.Reduction in paperwork: Online requisitions, purchase orders, and quoting/sourcing capability are just a few of the state of the art tools that buyers will now have access to in order to complete procurement activities. Additionally, MyFloridaMarketPlace provides automated workflow and online approvals for streamlined processing. 3.Faster order processing time: By automating the transactions, contracts, approvals, etc., the time from requisition to payment is reduced. 4.Reduction in the cost of goods and services: MyFloridaMarketPlace provides the State the opportunity to leverage its significant buying power by enabling Florida to act as a single entity during contract and purchasing negotiations. 5.Reduced overhead and processing costs: In addition to more accurate orders, automated workflow, and speed to fulfillment, the system helps to eliminate overhead costs on such items as paper, printing, supplies, postage, mail and delivery services.

16 P-Card Policy for P-Card Usage Within MyFloridaMarketPlace Background The statewide purchasing card program was implemented to streamline processes, improve management reporting, and reduce the cost of making small dollar purchases. Per Administrative Rule 60A-1.002, agencies are recommended to use the state purchasing card for all procurements, especially for purchases below $2,500. Overview With the implementation of MyFloridaMarketPlace, users may create a requisition with the payment method of p-card before or after the transaction is completed. This will provide the State with increased visibility to the spend in order to identify strategic sourcing opportunities. Circumstances will exist in which a p-card transaction will occur directly with the vendor without a transaction being completed in MyFloridaMarketPlace.
17
17 P-Card For purchases completed within MyFloridaMarketPlace, the following process will apply: 1.The requestor will complete a requisition within MyFloridaMarketPlace and decide whether to include the p-card number on the requisition and whether to transmit the PO to the vendor electronically. 2.The requisition will be submitted for approval. Approval requirements will be based on the agency-specific workflow. The requisition process may be completed after-the-fact if necessary. 3.If the requestor elects to transmit the PO to the vendor, the PO will be sent to the vendor upon approval by all approvers. 4.The requestor may complete the receiving report within MyFloridaMarketPlace for the p-card purchase, if desired. 5.In the event the vendor submits an invoice to the State for a purchase completed via p-card, the system will automatically reject an invoice associated with a purchase order with a p-card payment mechanism.
