How Do I Sell to the City of New Westminster?

The goal of the Purchasing Department of the Corporation of the City of New Westminster is to procure goods and services for the City which represent the "best value" for the city and its taxpayers. Best value includes many characteristics including but not limited to: availability, suitability, serviceability, transportation, required training, warranty, design, overall life cycle cost implications, and other significant applicable characteristics. With each individual purchase these characteristics can change.

The types of goods and services we procure are too numerous to list in full, but some examples are: vehicles, heavy duty equipment, parts, pipe, road installation, water and sewer services, computer equipment, office products and machines, consulting services, building and grounds maintenance services, fire fighting apparatus and equipment, first aid supplies, and printing services.

Council rescinded the Purchasing and Tendering Bylaw No. 6624, 2000 and replaced it with the new Procurement Policy adopted by City Council on July 9, 2007.
