About Procurement and Contracting Services
The Procurement and Contracting Services Division actively generates competition for City contracts by advertising bids and requests for proposals for larger purchases and soliciting quotes for smaller purchases. The division oversees all procurement activities and related contract preparations, monitors compliance with applicable procurement laws, and maintains records of vendor performance.
Procurement and Contracting Services is a centralized agency for all procurement and related contracts in the City. The division sets and implements policies and procedures to facilitate compliance with applicable procurement laws and competitive pricing.
It fulfills a service function and a control function. As a service provider, Procurement and Contracting Services staff work with other City departments to plan and manage the procurement of services, equipment and supplies. The division manages the overall procurement process from advertising a public bid to awarding the contract. Once a contract is awarded, the department that is requesting the services or supplies manages the contract.
In its control function, Procurement and Contracting Services reviews all requisitions and proposed contract amendments to ensure compliance with applicable laws. The division works with the other City departments to ensure that the specifications and contract terms and conditions are written to provide the most effective contract administration.
