The Procurement Strategy Helping Smart Cities
Get Ahead

Cut the red tape. Piggybacking lets municipalities tap into SAFEbuilt’s plan review, inspections, and permitting support through contracts that are already bid and approved.

What is piggybacking?

Piggybacking allows municipalities to adopt contracts already awarded in other jurisdictions. That means you can bypass the time and expense of issuing a new RFP while still meeting competitive procurement requirements.

SAFEbuilt helps you take advantage of this approach so you can:

  • Get expert services in place right away

  • Avoid downtime caused by contract backlogs

  • Confidently stay within compliance
