Last updated November 21, 2025

Want to sell your products or offer your services to the city? Join the list of suppliers from a wide range of business sectors and help develop a sustainable city.

Become a supplier

To offer your goods or services to the city, you must be registered in the supplier portal. This digital directory showcases your services and responsible business practices.

As a supplier, you can bid on: 

  • Public calls for tenders published on the Québec government’s electronic tendering system (SEAO)
  • Price requests sent directly by the city

Responsible procurement 

The city is actively involved in the socio-ecological transition. Its responsible procurement action plan (in French) is among its strategic drivers in this regard.
