Chicago, Ill. — BuildCentral, Inc. (“BuildCentral”),  the U.S.-based, lead-generation and market-research subsidiary of the Ljusdal, Sweden-based Byggfakta Group (OM: BFG) (“Byggfakta”), is proud to announce the recent acquisition of Bid Ocean, Inc.

NAPC constitutes the sister company and component-part project of BidOcean, and its e-procurement platform is designed to connect purchasing organizations and suppliers with the maximum number of qualified and responsive bidders via industry-specific bid networks and buyer sites. 

“We at BuildCentral are excited to welcome BidOcean and NAPC to our family, especially in light of our recent acquisition of Quest CDN. Together, the business will create the most comprehensive construction bidding platform in North America.” — Damian Eastman, CEO North America Byggfakta Group. 

BuildCentral envisions leveraging BidOcean and NAPC’s combined public- and private-sector market intelligence,  contacts, and bid-procurement interface to grow and enhance its suite of construction data products.
