Register as a supplier
Do you want to sell goods or services to the City of Wrenford? The first step is to register in the Wrenford Supplier Portal. Once you are registered, you will receive an email confirmation within five business days. This lets the Purchasing team know your company is active and ready to bid on our projects.
Who needs to register?
Any business or individual that wants to supply the City must create a profile. Registration is free. You will need to provide your business number, contact details, and banking information for direct deposit. We also ask that you review the Selling to the City and the Procurement policy and guidelines before you submit your profile.
Prequalification for specific work
Some projects require extra checks before you can submit a bid. Prequalification ensures that contractors and consultants have the right experience, insurance, and financial standing to handle the work safely and on time.
Which projects need prequalification?
You must complete prequalification to bid on the following types of contracts:
- Construction projects: roadwork, building renovations, new parks, and municipal infrastructure.
- Professional services: engineering, architecture, surveying, and environmental consulting.
- Large-scale equipment purchases: vehicles, heavy machinery, and fleet upgrades.
General goods and services, such as office supplies or IT software, do not require prequalification. You can bid on those as soon as your supplier profile is active.
How to apply
Log in to the Wrenford Supplier Portal and select the Prequalification tab. Upload the following documents:
- Proof of liability insurance (minimum $2 million per occurrence).
- Recent financial statements or a letter of credit from your bank.
- A list of three similar projects you have completed in the past five years.
- A completed Contractor Environmental Responsibilities Package (CERP) for construction bids.
Our team reviews every application within ten business days. If your documents are missing or incomplete, we will email you a list of what is needed. Once approved, your profile will be flagged as prequalified for the categories you requested.
Getting help and asking questions
If you need help creating your supplier profile or you are unsure which prequalification category fits your business, contact the Purchasing team. You can email [email protected] or call 519-555-0100. We respond to procurement inquiries within two business days.
We also host the Wrenford Pre-Bid Workshop Series at Wrenford City Hall. These free sessions cover how to read bid documents, how to calculate your prices, and how to meet our social procurement requirements. Check the News & Events page to register for the next session.
After you win a contract
When you are awarded a contract, you will receive a purchase order through the portal. Standard payment terms are net 30 days from the date we receive a correct invoice. If you have questions about a specific purchase order, you can submit an invoice payment request through the portal or email [email protected].
