Welcome to the Office of Purchasing!
The Purchasing Office is
responsible for the procurement of materials, supplies, equipment,
and services at the lowest possible cost consistent with the quality needed to provide the very best service to the public. The
primary objectives of the Purchasing and Materials Management
Office are to obtain maximum quality, value, and service; and our
goal is the promotion of fair dealings which will result in
obtaining the maximum value for each dollar of expenditure.
We recognize the
important service rendered by our suppliers in helping to provide
economical, quality supplies, equipment, and service. Procedures
for the procurement of the City's needs do change from time to
time; however, fundamentals do not. In order
to assist our
suppliers in serving the City of Orlando, this information has
been prepared so you may know your part in the purchasing process
according to the City's policies.
