Overview

As of September 2021 the City of Pittsburgh has partnered with OpenGov and is excited to announce the upcoming November 1 release of our updated and enhanced public facing Solicitation and Contracts portal, ProcureNow, that will offer users a more efficient, easy to navigate, customer friendly tool that will allow interested parties to do the following:

  • Register to bid and receive notifications of future opportunities in the e-Procurement Portal by selecting Subscribe to create an account.
  • Create a custom vendor profile and choose the categories for which you wish to receive notifications.
  • Follow updates to existing solicitations by finding the solicitation and clicking the Follow button. This will allow all interested parties to receive amendments and addenda automatically.
  • Submit questions and receive answers for open solicitations directly in the tool.
  • Guide vendors through the process of responding electronically to RFPs, bids, etc. to ensure submissions have been accurately completed.
  • Ultimately, be your one location for all bid opportunities issued by the City of Pittsburgh.
  • Ability to review award results/postings electronically.

To get started, signup online. You’ll receive an email to activate your account. For more information about how to register, please see our help file.

There is no cost for vendors to register with OpenGov.
