LADWP Relaunches eRSP Streamlined for More Efficient Bidding

Beginning August 1, 2023, LADWP will receive bids via the electronic Request-Solicit-Procure System (eRSP). eRSP may sound familiar for some as LADWP had implemented and used this system in previous years. The new eRSP will have new and improved features including:

• New bidding portal for an easier more efficient experience
• Streamlined bidding process, reducing administrative burdens, paperwork, and associated costs
• Enhanced transparency and fairness ensuring a level playing field for all bidders
• Access to more LADWP contracting opportunities for a wider range of bidders
• Ability for vendors to self-certify for SBE, DBE, LBE and other social-economic programs
• Newly enhanced cyber security features
• Seamless integration into LADWP’s system

By July 17, 2023, all bidders can register and create a vendor profile in the new eRSP system, or re-activate existing eRSP accounts at https://ersp.ladwp.com

Meanwhile, all LADWP bids closing on or before July 31, 2023, will still need to be submitted through the Ivalua dropbox. Bids may not be submitted via eRSP until August 1, 2023.

If you have any questions, please contact us via email at purchbids@ladwp.com. Meanwhile, visit the site soon to begin or renew your relationship with eRSP. We look forward to working with you on future contracts.
