Businesses interested in bidding for one of those contracts can learn more about potential opportunities through Tennessee’s Central Procurement Office (CPO), which consistently lists and updates requests for proposals for Tennessee contracts. To provide accountability, integrity and transparency related to the use of taxpayer funds in the bidding and contract award process, Tennessee also has implemented procedures governing bid protests. Josh Mullen and Clare Magee provide a guide to the bid protest process in Tennessee, including how disappointed offerors can file protests and how contract awardees can defend against them.
