Procurement Policy Statement It is the policy of the City of Knoxville Purchasing Division to achieve the highest degree of open, free market competition when soliciting bids and/or proposals for the purpose of public procurement. All bids and/or proposals shall receive equal, fair and non-preferential treatment throughout the entire procurement process and shall be uniformly solicited, evaluated and awarded on a non-discriminatory basis. The best interest of the City of Knoxville shall be the final determining factor for the basis of any award with award evaluation criteria, including consideration of factors such as price, service, delivery time, specifications, prior history and any other pertinent information relevant to the respective circumstances. In order to be registered with the City, you either need to create a Vendor Self-Service Account (see link above) or complete and submit a Vendor's List Application. Having a self-service account will help you receive timely notification about projects on which you may wish to bid, but you may download a Vendor's List Application in PDF format here, if you prefer. If you have already submitted the Vendor List Application to us, you should still create a Self-Service Account in order to get timely email notifications about current projects. If you do not know if you are on the list, you may call our office at 865-215-2070 to check. All Purchasing Division records shall be available for review in accordance with the requirements of the Charter of the City of Knoxville and the laws of the State of Tennessee. Bid Addendums - Any changes to the original solicitation will be listed as an addendum. It is your responsibility to check for future addendums and respond to any additional requirements itemized in the addendum.
