How the City Buys

The St Petersburg City Procurement and Supply Management Department has automated its entire procure-to-pay process. In this class, suppliers will learn how the City sources its supplies and services and how to communicate effectively with the City.

-iSupplier Portal-
In this workshop, suppliers will learn not only how to register as a city supplier, but also to use the city’s iSupplier Portal for two-way communication with the procurement staff. The class will teach suppliers how to view purchase orders, view invoices and payments, contact procurement staff and update profile information.

-Online Bidding-
The online sourcing module enables suppliers to do the following: receive notifications of Requests for Information (RFI), Request for Quotations (RFQ) and Invitation for Bids (IFB); complete and submit RFI, RFQ and IFB online; and communicate directly with procurement staff in order to get answers to questions or receive information related to a solicitation.

This is a required workshop for certification as a City of St. Petersburg, Florida USA Small Business Enterprise (SBE). All are welcome to attend.
