CES

Simplify Procurement & Maximize Results

For 2025, IAC is pleased to launch a partnership with Cooperative Education Services (CES) – an organization dedicated to making government purchasing simpler, more cost-effective, and fully compliant with procurement regulations.

CES provides counties with peace of mind through greater value, convenience, exceptional customer service, and access to highly qualified vendors with ready-to-use contracts.

Benefits of the CES Partnership:

• Cost-Effectiveness: Reduce administrative burdens while gaining access to competitively priced contracts.
• Simplified Procurement: Streamlined processes that encourage participation from both vendors and agencies.
• Economic Growth: Promotion of Utah-based vendors and contractors, supporting job creation and local economic development.
• Transparency & Compliance: Enhanced trust in procurement processes through adherence to state and county regulations.

We invite counties to explore how CES can simplify procurement, save time and money, and strengthen local economies.
