Public / Private Competitive Bid Process The city of Phoenix has received national and international recognition as a well-managed city. One of the reasons the city won this recognition was the city’s public/private competitive proposal process.

City departments and private contractors compete in a public bid situation to determine who can best provide services to customers. Types of Services Evaluated:
Benefits of the Process The development of the public/private competitive process is a strategic advantage in the evolving market place of government service delivery. This process challenges us to find the effective use of competition and cooperation in the same manner as a private firm. Since beginning the process in 1979, the city has saved more than $44.8 million, as detailed in the attached chart. |
