The City’s Procurement Department maintains a register of potential suppliers who can bid on opportunities to do business with the City. Suppliers can create an account for our Bids and Tenders Portal to be notified of bid opportunities that pertain to their business.
Bid opportunities are published regularly and can be viewed any time via the portal.
