The City of Kingston advertises all its tender and request for proposal opportunities on an electronic platform called Biddingo, which reaches suppliers locally and across the North American market. This platform is free for users to download and submit proposals to the City. The City encourages competition and uses various means to increase the number of supplier responses to the City’s tenders and requests for proposals. However, we are open to your ideas!
