eSupplier Vendor Registration Service:

The City of Orlando eSupplier Vendor Registration Service is a one stop service center where suppliers can navigate to register on-line, create a user name and password, and learn how to conduct business with the City of Orlando.
Suppliers must create a free eSupplier account by registering directly at https://esupplier.cityoforlando.net  in order to receive automatic notification of bid opportunities and to download Active bids.  Registered City of Orlando suppliers will have access to their supplier information twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week and be able to update their contact information. Vendors will be pleased with the ease of navigation through the new system.  Vendors can register to receive email or fax alerts for solicitations that are of interest to their business.  Effective August 20, 2010, the City of Orlando will discontinue adding new solicitations to Onvia by DemandStar’s system; therefore, after this date suppliers will need to check eSupplier for all City of Orlando bid opportunities.  Don't miss out on important bid opportunities, register today.
