​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​In line with Brampton City Council’s priorities of creating more opportunities and embedding diversity in our operations, the City launched a Supply Chain Diversity program.

We are embedding​ supplier diversity as part of the City’s Invitational Procurement process ($25,000 to $100,000). Suppliers who would like to participate in this program will have to be certified as a diverse supplier through established non-profit Supplier Certification Organizations such as:

Note: If you are a supplier certified through a non-profit Supplier Certification Organization that is not listed above please contact invitational.procurement@brampton.ca​

Some membership fees may apply. Contact the certificaion organizations directly for more information.

Suppliers interested in receiving notification or interested in bidding on City of Brampton opportunities will need to create an account on bids&tenders.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

To learn more about how supplier diversity will be embedded as part of the City's Invitational Process and assist you in navigating the bids&tenders system, we invite you to watch this pre-recorded video.


The goal of the program is to provide equal opportunity to all vendors and does not provide preferential treatment to diverse suppliers. Bidders must meet the specifications of a quotation request and provide competitive pricing.

City staff who are purchasing goods and services between $25,000 and $100,000 will be required to invite at least one certified diverse supplier to submit quotations as part of the three-quote process.

A diverse supplier is a business that is at least 51 percent owned, managed and controlled by an equity-deserving community or social purpose enterprise. These communities include, but are not limited to, women, Aboriginal people, racial minorities/racialized people, veterans, persons with disabilities, newcomers and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Two-spirit (LGBTQ2S) community.
