Efficiency Redefined: How ESUHSD Automated Procurement and Contract Management

Overview

The East Side Union High School District, located in San Jose, Santa Clara County, California, administers 19 high schools with a combined enrollment of approximately 26,000 students, including 11 traditional and seven alternative high school programs and an Adult Education Program.

The Bond Purchasing and Contracts, which has historically been responsible for all construction and bonding projects within the district, including design-build, RFQs, RFPs, and bids, was handling all procurement-related processes manually, with in-person bid submissions from contractors and public bid openings.

The team brought in PlanetBids' end-to-end procurement platform in 2015 to move away from spreadsheets, bid tracking whiteboards, and manual bid management, allowing contractors to submit documents via a secure, encrypted locked-box portal.
