Yelp! For Procurement.

What is happening? A former Pennsylvania Procurement Officer developed Procurated which allows state and local governmental entities to leave Yelp like reviews on procurement contracts.

Why is this important? The Procurement Officer didn’t understand why he could google information about local restaurants but not about entities that want a $10 M contract from the government.

How will this be important? A meritocracy coming to government that’s potentially game changing.
