Bidder Requirements

To become a bidder with the City of Dothan, the following steps are required:

  • The City of Dothan has implemented an online bid registration and notification system. You will now download/print bid documents and submit questions related to the bids at the new website. If interested in bidding, you are responsible for printing the bid and mailing or hand-delivering the sealed bid to the City of Dothan Purchasing Division. Register at the ProcureWare website. The name and tax identification number should match the information on your tax return. Update your company information, when your company has a change of ownership. Be sure to complete the commodity code or categories, which will associate your company with products for bid invitations.
  • To ensure that you receive future email messages from our procurement system, please whitelist the ProcureWare website.  All messages come from the ProcureWare email.
