The City of Sault Ste. Marie uses the Bids &Tenders portal to post and manage its procurement opportunities. Registered suppliers will receive notifications when an opportunity is posted. Tenders, Request for Proposals, and Expressions of Interest are advertised in accordance with the City’s Purchasing By-law.
Vendor List
Vendors must register with the Bids & Tenders portal and are also encouraged to request to be added to the Purchasing Division’s Vendors List. If interested, please complete a Vendor Information Form and submit to: purchasing@cityssm.on.ca, so we are aware of what you are selling.
Your quotation or tender must be submitted prior to the official closing hour and date, or it will be returned unopened. Read the quotation and tender documents thoroughly and comply with all instructions and conditions. We do not want to be in a position of having to reject your offer on a technicality.
Contractor Pre-Qualification
Contractors must comply with the requirements of the City’s Contractor Pre-Qualification Program prior to the start of any onsite work.
To apply to be on the Approved Contractor List, please complete a Contractor Pre-qualification Form and a Contractor Responsibilities Form and an Accessible Customer Service Form and submit them to: contractorprogram@cityssm.on.ca.
