Supplier User Testing

DGS-PD conducted demo sessions with randomly selected suppliers during June 2026. These sessions allowed eMarketplace stakeholders to preview the system before it goes live. The sessions help ensure the solution is ready for production and launched with confidence from both sides.

Posted below are recordings of the demos. Please note that the team has made improvements, and that the platform shown in the videos will differ from the version implemented at launch.

This demo details the Request for Offer (RFO) portal, a feature of eMarketplace where suppliers can respond to RFOs. The portal streamlines the purchasing process and communication between state buyers and suppliers. In a prior meeting, suppliers viewed the platform and provided their feedback. This video shows how their feedback was incorporated into the platform and demonstrates improved functionality.
