COMMUNITY WEBSITE ACCESS:

Vendor Info

Thank you for your interest in working with PPM, Inc and the communities we manage.

PPM is a family-owned HOA management company that works with a wide variety of service providers. Because each Association is an independent organization, vendor selection is made by the Association’s Board of Directors based on the needs of the community and compliance with applicable insurance requirements.

 

Interested in Working with PPM Communities?

Managers and Boards learn about vendors through a variety of sources, including referrals, industry relationships, vendors currently servicing other communities, PPM’s internal vendor communications, and participation in the Community Associations Institute (CAI), which provides access to industry professionals experienced in working with homeowner associations.

 

Vendors interested in introducing their services may request opportunities to sponsor company luncheons or educational events. These programs are popular and participation opportunities are limited. Submission of a request does not guarantee selection.

 

Already Working with a Community? Please Complete the Required Insurance Documentation

To protect our clients and the communities we serve, vendors performing work in communities managed by PPM, Inc are required to meet certain insurance and compliance standards.

 

PPM, Inc utilizes VIVE, a third-party vendor compliance platform, to verify insurance coverage and required documentation. Vendors who have been awarded a contract, approved to perform work, or are currently providing services within a managed community must register through VIVE before work is performed. The registration process is streamlined, typically takes less than 15 minutes to complete, and includes a nominal annual fee paid to VIVE.

What’s required for registration?

  • Corporate Information
  • Trade & License Information
  • Insurance Information
  • Complete a W-9 & Vendor Agreement
  • Pay Annual Fee

For assistance with registration or questions regarding the compliance process, please contact VIVE at (844) 476-8038 or through their online chat feature at www.GetVIVED.com.

 

Important Information Regarding VIVE

Registration and approval through VIVE confirm only that a vendor has met PPM’s minimum insurance and documentation requirements.

VIVE registration does not constitute a recommendation, endorsement, preferred vendor designation, guarantee of work, bidding opportunity, referral, or contract award.

 

Associations retain sole discretion in selecting vendors. Registration through VIVE simply confirms a vendor is eligible to perform work in communities where compliance verification is required.
