City adopts new digital procurement platform bids&tenders
The City of Saskatoon will be transitioning to bids&tenders beginning the week of December 16, 2024 with a full transition from Biddingo expected to occur by the end of January 2025. At that time, our procurement opportunities will no longer be posted to Biddingo.
Notices will continue to be available for viewing on SaskTenders, but a bids&tenders account will be required to view, download, and respond to our procurement opportunities.
