Bids & Tenders
We’re committed to procurement decisions that are fair and transparent. The City's Purchasing Bylaw sets the rules we follow to protect public funds, ensure competitive bidding, and meet all applicable treaties and required trade agreements.
All invoices for the City must include the Purchase Order (PO) number and be sent directly to accountspayable@cambridge.ca. This helps us process payments quickly.
Competitive Bids
The process we use depends on the estimated value of the contract. If a purchase requires a formal competitive bid, it will be posted on the City's website. View the current bid opportunities with the button below.
