The Purchasing Division is part of the Office of the CAO and is the centralized group responsible for the procurement of all goods, services and construction for the City. Purchasing uses a variety of procurement methods, in accordance with the Purchasing By-law, encouraging the competitive bid process. Purchasing adopts the goal of fairness by ensuring that all who wish to compete for the opportunity to sell to the City can do so.
In line with Brampton City Council’s priorities of creating more opportunities and embedding diversity in our operations, the City launched a Supply Chain Diversity program.
We have embedded supplier diversity as part of the City’s Invitational Procurement process ($25,000 to $100,000). Suppliers who would like to participate in this program will have to be certified as a diverse supplier through established non-profit Supplier Certification Organizations.
