Bellevue procures products and services necessary for the city's operation. The city offers bid opportunities and requests for proposals or qualifications.
Bid Opportunities - For public works and large materials, supplies and equipment procurements, the city will issue an invitation to bid - a formal sealed bid process that typically results in a public bid opening.
