What is Pavilion?

Pavilion is the leading platform for state, local, and educational institutions to find and buy from suppliers with cooperative contracts. Think of us as the matchmaker who introduces buyers to suppliers when they need to buy without going through a new solicitation process.

How can Pavilion help my business?

Pavilion helps you sell more off of existing cooperative contracts you’ve already won. High-intent buyers search Pavilion with budget they're looking to deploy immediately. This allows you to get your contracts in front of qualified buyers when the purchasing decision is made so that you can skip going through a new solicitation process to win business.

→

What types of contracts are on Pavilion?

We have the largest repository of contracts that can be used for cooperative procurement (sometimes called “piggybacking” or “intergovernmental purchasing”). This is an established best practice that allows you to win new business through your existing contracts from national / regional cooperatives, states, and local agencies. These contracts are competitively solicited and typically include a “cooperative,” “piggyback,” or “interlocal government use” clause that explicitly states that the contract may be utilized by other public entities. Sometimes, this language may restrict use of the contract to certain types of public entities, a specific membership, or a specific geographic area.

→

What determines if my contract or business shows up in search results?

Pavilion is designed to help public buyers find and purchase from businesses that have already been awarded a competitively solicited contract by another public entity. Our algorithm is designed to show the contracts and businesses that are most relevant to the public buyer’s search, including scope, geographic constraints, compliance restrictions, and other factors.

My business hasn’t sold to the public sector yet. Can I still be listed on Pavilion?

Even if your business has not been directly awarded a contract by a public entity, you may still show up on Pavilion if you operate as a subcontractor, distributor, or authorized reseller of an awarded supplier, or if a public entity searches for your business by name.

→

What does Pavilion cost?

Pavilion is free for public agencies to use, and is also free for you to be listed on Pavilion. You can sign up to become a Pro Supplier to gain access to paid features that allows you to give us more information about your business and contracts. This helps our search algorithm match you with relevant searches, and gives more information to buyers when they’re making their purchasing decision. Schedule a demo to learn more.
