Current Bid/RFP opportunities
Purchase Order Standard terms and conditions

The Procurement Department is the primary contact for vendors, contractors and service providers doing business with the City of Germantown. The goal is to seek out qualified businesses that can provide the City with the supplies, equipment and services at competitive prices.

The Department’s mission is to provide services by adding value and improvement in support of the City of Germantown in the areas of procurement, assets and risk. The Department strives to become an acknowledged leader among service providers, recognized for innovative, high quality and cost-effective approaches to meeting and exceeding customer expectations. 

The Procurement Department’s direction focuses on communication, training, processes and transparency. City Purchasing Ordinance and Tennessee Statutes are used for the process of soliciting quotes, sealed bids or requests for proposals to ensure a fair and non-preferential system for making procurement decisions.

While price is certainly an important factor in the decision process, relevant information about service demands, delivery needs, brand specification, past performance and references is also considered. Procurement decisions are often based on a variety of factors that serve the best interests of the City of Germantown.
