After the necessary research is done in determining that the City buys what you sell and that it would be worthwhile for your firm to become aware of upcoming bids, you may register to receive such bid notifications through the City of Plantation service partner DemandStar. DemandStar provides its subscribers with automatic notifications, via email or fax, of upcoming bid solicitations that match with your business structure. The bids, when sent, will depend on the commodities or services identified with this service and the Counties for which you register. If you wish to sign up to receive bids from only one agency, this service is FREE.
