2. Response Procedures

City Council Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

The City of Clermont is reviewing its response procedures for acquiring goods and services. This review includes how the city uses an electronic bidding system called OpenGov. This system is used for bid notifications and managing solicitations. Vendors can register on the OpenGov portal to get alerts about new projects. The city also uses NIGP commodity codes to match vendors with relevant projects. Additionally, the city is reviewing its policy on single or sole source acquisitions, which allows purchases without competition if only one company can provide a needed product or service. This review is early in the public process, indicating potential future changes or updates to how the city procures services and supplies. Businesses that provide procurement software, IT services, or consulting on government purchasing policies may find opportunities to engage with the city as these procedures are examined. Early engagement could help businesses align their services with the city's evolving needs.
