Bidding Opportunities In the spirit of continuous improvement, the City of Newport has joined with BidNet Direct to establish the Rhode Island Purchasing Group to publish our solicitations with other agencies across Rhode Island. This platform also allows vendors to submit bids electronically! We will begin transitioning to this new platform in November 2020. Vendors can register to receive email notification of new solicitations that match their line of business at no charge. We hope vendors find this system useful in expanding your visibility to bid opportunities. Visit us on the Rhode Island Purchasing Group at: https://www.bidnetdirect.com/rhode-island/cityofnewport
Claims
