ChamberBid is a web-based platform that will help your company streamline the process of purchasing products at competitive prices. It does this by connecting GLI members in need of products and services to other members who are qualified to handle those requests. In other words, ChamberBid is like a match-making service for GLI members.

Additionally, by registering with ChamberBid, you are automatically notified of potential customers who request bids for your company’s products and services - it’s like a sales leads buffet!

This service is exclusively available to GLI members but you have to register to in order to take advantage.

ChamberBid is a one-stop portal that instantly sends your requests to local providers and keeps track of related activity in one place.

And get what you need at the right price – Sending out a request for bids is free to all GLI members and since each request goes to multiple suppliers, ChamberBid can help you determine fair market price.
