1. How to Pre-qualify for State Contracts for Professional Services Presented by: Wendy Walker Contracts Specialist Master Contracts and Consulting Group Department of Enterprise Services May 22, 2014

2. ITPS Program Strategy Current categories are going away. – Solicitation status for current categories is permanently closed. – As master contracts for new categories go live, current contracts will terminate. – There will be some overlap in category availability as existing prequalified vendor pools in WEBS are replaced by new categories of prequalified vendor pools.

3. The ITPS program is a two-tiered competitive solicitation program for different categories of IT services. Once prequalified in a category, a vendor becomes eligible to submit proposals for separately solicited state agency project work for THAT CATEGORY ONLY. Program Overview

4. Washington Electronic Business Service – Businesses register in WEBS and identify commodities they are interested in. – Opportunities are posted to WEBS. – WEBS automatically notifies you of the opportunities by email via the address you registered. – You compete against other qualified professionals for work.
