Prequalification Invitation to Marketing Vendors

In order to better serve the diversity of audiences, marketing objectives, and activities of the state, we expanded the list of approved marketing vendors to include vendors who become prequalified through a formal prequalification process.    

Prequalification for Marketing vendors is a new requirement for marketing contracts.  This process is being implemented to expand the state’s access to professional marketing vendors from the current state-contracted full service marketing vendors to a broader list of prequalified marketing professionals. 

Marketing vendors who wish to seek contracts with the State of Vermont are being invited to become prequalified to perform marketing services for state entities and programs.

Four State Contracted Marketing Vendors

The marketing services contracts are master contracts between the state and the marketing firm. A full competitive bid and selection process was followed in the selection of four marketing firms. These contracts allow you to obtain marketing services without having to go through a full RFP process. In addition to saving you time, the contracts were negotiated at a state level and require most favored pricing – which means the state’s rates are lower than all other client rates.
