Bidding opportunities

City bidding opportunities generally fall into three main categories:

Goods
Services (including engineering/consulting)
Construction

The processes used for solicitations are typically in the form of a Request for Tender (RFT), Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quotation (RFQ). The City invites any interested vendor who can fulfill the bid requirements to submit a response. It is the vendor's responsibility to stay informed of City opportunities.
