Vendor/Bidder Registration:

Vendors/Bidders must register using the provided online information. All previously registered vendors are required to re-register.

Online Vendor Registration:

It has become necessary to automate our bidder/proposal process. This automation effort is to better serve the increasing volume of bids and to get packages into the hands of prospective bidders more quickly. The City of Newports Purchasing Division now has a Bidder Registration area.

Only ACTIVE vendors will have the ability to download and print bid packages. There will no longer be a direct mail vendor list as in the past. You must obtain the packages via the web site.

A printable version of the Newport Vendor/Bidder Registration Form, a complete list of Commodity Codes, and the ever growing "Common Used" codes for the city of Newport are located at in the Registration area.

Please Print and use as a scratch pad for information prior to doing the live version. Download all the forms for review, so you can chose your Commodity Codes in advance.
