The City of Sunnyvale welcomes the opportunity to do business with interested suppliers. The City's Purchasing Division is interested in fostering participation by all suppliers offering goods and services that may be used by the City.
In order to facilitate a greater distribution of its bid opportunities, the City has joined Onvia DemandStar, the leading government purchasing network, which brings together government agencies and suppliers. Onvia DemandStar membership enables the City to improve service to suppliers by providing automatic bid notification and instant access to bid information via the web.
Suppliers are encouraged to participate in the City's system of electronic bid distribution. Membership in the Onvia DemandStar network offers suppliers a number of important benefits:
Suppliers will receive automatic and immediate notification via e-mail or fax of Invitations to Bid, Requests for Proposals, and Requests for Quotations issued by the City of Sunnyvale and any other governmental agency in Santa Clara County that participates in the DemandStar network.
As other government agencies in Santa Clara County join Onvia DemandStar, suppliers will receive automatic notification of their bid opportunities as well.
Suppliers will have 24-hour access to current bid information, including bid results, contract awards, planholders lists, and profile information.
Suppliers will be notified only of bid opportunities they have determined are relevant to their businesses.
Suppliers will be able to download bid documents from the internet at no charge.
Suppliers may register online at http://www.demandstar.com/register.rsp, or by calling (800)711-1712 and requesting a registration form be faxed to them. If you are already registered with Onvia DemandStar for any other Santa Clara County agency, you do not need to register again.
Onvia Demandstar has recently implemented an Agency Level Subscription option that will allow suppliers to download bid documents and transact business with any one agency FREE. The subscription allows a supplier to: receive notice of the agency's formal bid opportunities, have unlimited downloads for all electronically uploaded bid documents, and to have the subscription automatically renewed annually. To register for an Agency Level Subscription for the City of Sunnyvale, just click here.
Registration with Onvia DemandStar is not a requirement for doing business with the City of Sunnyvale. Suppliers who choose not to register with Onvia DemandStar will still be able to get bid information by monitoring the City's web site. If a supplier is not registered with Onvia DemandStar, it will not receive automatic notification of bid opportunities, but bids may be downloaded from the internet for a nominal fee. In addition, suppliers may pick up a copy of the bid package at the Purchasing Division office, Sunnyvale City Hall Annex, 650 West Olive Avenue, Sunnyvale, California, 94086.
