Thank you for your interest. We are excited to provide you with an opportunity to contribute to the State of Tennessee's media projects and staffing needs. Covendis has a statewide contract that allows us to provide a platform for all staffing and SOW projects for the State of Tennessee. Covendis' approach to partnering with a diverse range of organizations and companies aligns well to provide comprehensive solutions to the state's requirements. As a media company, we're excited about the possibility of you joining our supplier list to offer your expertise and services.

About Covendis

Covendis is a vendor-neutral Managed Service Provider (MSP) that operates its own Vendor Management Solution (VMS). Clients engage Covendis to provide temporary staffing services and manage a network of qualified staffing suppliers.

The benefit of the vendor-neutral system to staffing suppliers is that Covendis does not compete with its suppliers for staffing services, ensuring a level playing field and open competition for positions. Covendis staffing suppliers receive all eligible opportunities simultaneously. This model has been extremely successful, with over 250 suppliers participating across various MSP programs.

Registration

Covendis shall evaluate applicants on criteria including capabilities, experience, pricing, references, background, and financial evaluation of the firm and its principals. Covendis, at its sole discretion, shall select firms with which to negotiate and subcontract. The term of subcontracts shall generally be for one-year periods and will be renewed each year for one-year increments based on quality, pricing, and performance.

Your company must have been in business for at least 2 years to qualify. If you cannot provide at least 2 years of financial history you will not be eligible to join the Covendis network.

Thank you for your interest in the Covendis MSP. We look forward to receiving your application. The deadline is July 31, 2024.
