ProcureNow

The City of Apopka is transitioning to a full automated web-based electronic bidding and vendor management system called ProcureNow. ProcureNow will streamline the bid submittal process for vendors by reducing the amount of time it takes for staff to create, post, and evaluate each bid.

The new ProcureNow e-Procurement Portal will allow prospective Vendors and Suppliers the ability to:

  • Electronically submit bids in one place and eliminate the submission of paper proposals.
  • Receive notifications of future bid opportunities by selecting the “Subscribe” button (after account creation).
  • Receive timely support for bid questions.
  • Submit questions and receive answers online regarding open bid opportunities.
  • Track updates to existing bids by clicking the “Follow” button. This will allow all interested bidders to receive amendments and addenda automatically.
  • Use a vendor guided process of responding electronically to bids to ensure your bids have been accurately completed.
  • View bid opportunities issued by the City of Apopka in one location.

You may subscribe to their bids by navigating here and clicking the "Subscribe" button. ProcureNow will also be sending email notifications to register and activate new accounts. For more information about how to register, please see the help links below.

The City is excited to announce their transition and look forward to receiving your bids!
