The information contained herein is designed to help you navigate doing business with the City of Phoenix.
The City of Phoenix Procurement Portal powered by OpenGov is the online platform where vendors can access and submit offers to solicitations. It supports the solicitation process within the City of Phoenix.
To receive notifications about new opportunities and submit offers, vendors must have an OpenGov account and subscribe to the City of Phoenix Procurement Portal. If a vendor already holds an OpenGov account, re-registration is not necessary.
Step 1: REGISTER IN OPENGOV

Step 2: SUBSCRIBE TO RECEIVE SOLICITATION UPDATES
Once your account is activated, visit the City of Phoenix Procurement Portal and click the “Subscribe” button to stay up to date with solicitations.

procurePHX Vendor Registration Application
procurePHX, on the other hand, is the City’s vendor registration application connecting the procurement process to the City’s financial system. It is used to issue purchase orders, receive invoices from vendors, and process payments to vendors. Vendors must register in procurePHX if they are awarded a contract or need to receive payment from the City.
In summary, procurePHX manages vendor registration and payment, while the Procurement Portal is used for the solicitation and bidding process. Depending on the nature of the engagement, registration in both systems may be necessary for vendors to conduct business with the City of Phoenix.
To respond to City procurement opportunities posted on OpenGov and be awarded contracts with the City resulting from such opportunities, vendors must register in BOTH the City of Phoenix Procurement Portal powered by OpenGov and the procurePHX vendor registration application.
