Bidding Information

Welcome to the City of Santa Cruz Bidding Information Page

City of Santa Cruz OpenGov Portal

The city uses an eProcurement system called OpenGov for publishing solicitations and receiving vendor responses. The City's eProcurement Portal allows vendors to:

  • Register to bid and receive notifications of future opportunities by subscribing.
  • Follow updates to open solicitations, by finding the solicitation and clicking the Follow button.
  • Submit questions and receive answers for open solicitations.
  • Be guided through the electronic submittal process.

Step 1: Register in OpenGov

Register in OpenGov to sign-up as a vendor at no charge with OpenGov. Upon sign-up, you will receive an email from OpenGov with instructions to activate your account.

Step 2: Subscribe to Receive Solicitation Update

Once your account is activated, visit the City of Santa Cruz Procurement Portal and click the “Subscribe” button to stay up to date with solicitations. Upon successful vendor registration and after you have subscribed to receive notifications, solicitation documents will be available for download at no charge.

Step 3: Manage Notification Preferences

After subscribing, manage your category code(s) and notification preferences by logging into your OpenGov Company Profile. Visit the OpenGov Help Page to learn more about setting up category codes.
