The City of Riverside has recently implemented an online purchasing management system. This system allows vendors to register online, receive automated service and commodity solicitations via email, and to submit bids electronically.

Both formal and informal solicitations will be processed through our online system. You may click the Current Bidopps link above to see a list of all current solicitations, or use the keyword search below to find specific items.

Contracting opportunities which include engineering or architectural drawings are downloadable.

Opportunities for vendors to bid for City business fall into two categories, formal and informal. Informal bid opportunities are for purchases of goods or services under $50,000. Purchases between $2,500 and $49,999 require three informal bids obtained either by Purchasing buyers or departments requesting the purchase. Purchases under $2,500 do not require any form of competitive bid.

Formal bid opportunities are published whenever the City seeks to procure goods or services for projects estimated to be over $50,000. All responses are due at or before the time shown on each solicitation. Late responses cannot be accepted. It is the bidder's/proposer's responsibility to ensure that the most complete and current version of the solicitation, including addenda, has been downloaded.

Responses received without the applicable addenda will be rejected as incomplete. If you need help or have questions concerning the features available to vendors, please click for online assistance. Thank you for your interest in doing business with the City of Riverside.
