Vendor Appreciation Day will help local businesses learn how to get city contracts

Posted: March 14, 2008

The City of Port St. Lucie is holding its annual Vendor Appreciation Day on Tuesday, March 25, from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Community Center on Airoso Boulevard.

The event is to help local suppliers of goods and services learn how to do business with the city.  It is run by the city’s Office of Management and Budget, which oversees the purchasing of all supplies, equipment, materials and services used by city departments throughout the year. 

Because the city has a wide variety of needs, and because the city must follow specific laws and accounting procedures to make purchases, businesses of every type are welcome to attend and to learn how to work within those guidelines.

Topics include:

  1. Presentations by Bank of America at 1:30 and 2:30 p.m.  (register to receive fast payment from the city).
  2. Web cast about DemandStar.com at 1:15, & 2:30 p.m.  (register to receive request for quotes and bid notifications).
  3. Discussion of PSL’s insurance requirements – at 1:30, 2:15, 3:30 p.m.

Why participate?

  1. To meet the city’s professional purchasing staff.
  2. To receive answers to questions concerning city purchasing policy.
  3. To receive information about the Office of Management and Budget.
  4. To find out about DemandStar, insurance requirements and other topics that are important to doing business with Port St. Lucie.
