Vendor Registration
The City is using a computer application called BuySpeed Online to manage vendor files. The registration process allows vendors to record business information and manage employee access to the system. Eventually vendors will be able to respond directly to some bids using BuySpeed. For the immediate future, the system will be used only managing vendor data. You may download instructions for registering as a vendor (PDF file - 850KB) or go to fcgov.com/eprocurement to complete registration.

Introduction
The City of Fort Collins has established a centralized Purchasing Division responsible for the procurement of goods and services in excess of $2000.

Commodity purchases are accomplished by issuance of a numbered purchase order authorized by the Purchasing Agent. Professional services are secured by contract and supported by issuance of a purchase order. Orders under $2000 can be issued by City departments and are requested on mini orders. Purchases may also be made using a purchasing card. No order over $2000 can be placed by the department.

The City always welcomes new vendors to join its list of quality suppliers for goods and services. We offer a Vendor's Guide on "How to do business with the City of Fort Collins" to inform all vendors of our purchasing policies and general information. If we can answer any questions, please call us. Vendor registration information is given above.
