Lotus Connect

"We have money left in the budget. Spend it by the deadline or lose it." Business Managers:

In public procurement, you always keep the receipts. Here's ours.

Most underused tool in public purchasing: contracts someone already competed. Cooperative programs like PEPPM ran the bid once — participating districts can just buy. Ask your business office which contracts you're already in.

Selling to government and schools means accepting one truth early: you work the way they work, not the other way around. Public buyers can't bend their process for you. The vendors who win are the ones who fit into it.

Big news! Lotus Connect is now a @PeppmProgram Awarded Vendor for Modular Robotics (Contract #548362-154). Schools can buy Cubelets, GoPiGo, & more directly through us. Email us at @ info@lotusconnect.org Lets get your classrooms set up before the fall! #EdTech #STEM #PEPPM
