The City of Cornwall's Bid Opportunities Website was created to provide openness, accountability and transparency to the City of Cornwall’s procurement of goods, services and construction.

Bidders can create an account free of charge which permits the bidder to register for a bid opportunity. (Important: please create one account only per organization, additional contact may be added to this account). 

Features available to bidders:

• Email Notification of new bid opportunities, changes to bid status
• Download documents and request forms on-line
• Access to addenda, clarification, supplemental information
• View bid results

It is very important to select categories/sub categories aligned with your business. Bid opportunities posted to the City’s website are set-up using the category/sub category that best describes the scope of work. Registered users will receive email notifications automatically whenever a new bid opportunity aligning with selected interests (category/sub category) are posted.

Bidders must register for the bid document to be listed as a plan taker. (Note: The City of Cornwall does not release the list of plan takers). There may be a document fee applicable to some bid opportunities.

It shall be the bidder’s responsibility to clarify any points in question with Purchasing Services prior to a bid closing.  Neither the Corporation, its employees, nor its agents shall be responsible for any information or instructions given to bidders, with the exception of information or instructions provided by way of an addendum from the Purchasing Supervisor (or designate).

Any responses made on behalf of the Corporation will be via email or through the issuance of an addendum or clarification.

What is an addendum?
Bidders may, during the bidding period, be advised by Addendum of any additions, deletions or alterations to the Bid Documents.  All such changes shall be included in the bid and shall become part of the contract. Before you submit your bid to us,it is the bidder responsibility to check our website.
