South Carolina Procurement (SCPro) is the new online procurement platform for sourcing competitive solicitations, contracting, supplier management and procurement activities for the state of Carolina. Once fully implemented, it will be available to all agencies, suppliers and other government entities through the state’s South Carolina Enterprise Information System (SCEIS). 

• The new solution’s functionality will encompass the full purchasing, sourcing, contracting and related processes with integrations to SCEIS ECC and other ERP systems.
• SCPro replaces the current SCEIS Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) tool and will include a virtual marketplace that consists of online supplier catalogs which state agencies, local governments and political subdivisions can access to purchase goods and services.

Unfortunately, we will not make the July 1 original start date for SCPro.  An assessment is currently being done to determine a reasonable timeline for completion of the project.  When that is established we will let you know.  In the meantime, work continues on the project for us to bring it to completion.

At the Procurement Directors’ Conference last month, we discussed steps Wave 1 agencies should take to complete year-end activities to allow for go-live.  With go-live delayed, Wave 1 agencies should proceed with the completion of year-end activities as directed by SCEIS.

We realize that the delay of go-live for SCPro maybe disappointing and frustrating, however, we are hopeful that the finished product and its functionality will more than compensate for missing the July 1 go-live date.  Please know that we greatly appreciate everyone’s contributions to the project and your patience as we work toward completion and implementation of SCPro.

The SCPro project team is working diligently to rebaseline the project timeline. Updates will be provided as soon as dates and times are finalized. 

• A modern, user-friendly, self-service web portal.
• Faster procurement processes from requisition to receipt of goods.
• Enhanced customer interaction between state agencies, local governments and suppliers.
• Improved search capabilities for suppliers, contracts and procurements.
