The TRS Procurement and Vendor E-System (PAVES) went live in August of 2021. PAVES is part of our strategic effort to achieve efficiency in our purchasing and contract management processes.
“Being a supplier to a Texas government entity can be complex with many checks and balances. We looked for an automated system to make the journey more collaborative and maximize best value. PAVES is a big step forward on our path to streamline and modernize our processes.” LaTresa Stroud, TRS Director of Procurement & Contracts
