Bid FAQs
How do I get on the bidder's list?
The City of Coppell contracts with BidSync for the maintenance of an automated vendor list. This list categorizes each vendor by the commodity codes for the goods or services offered by the vendor. Businesses subscribing to the vendor list are notified by e-mail whenever a formal sealed bid or informal request for quote has been issued for the commodity or service offered by the vendor.
To have your firm placed on the vendor list, contact BidSync at www.bidsync.com. The application asks for general information about your company and lists the commodities and services you provide. BidSync has no annual subscription fee.
