Online Bidding

Finance Department Online Bidding

In 2009, the City of Upper Arlington Finance Department implemented an e-bidding process. ALL vendors, whether or not they are currently registered with the City, must re-register online to be eligible to participate.

Registered vendors will receive notifications of upcoming bid opportunities, and will be able to submit bids online. There is no fee to vendors who use the online bidding system, and failure to register may result in missed opportunities.

If you have any questions about the City's e-bidding program, contact Barb Podnar, Purchasing Administrator, at 614-583-5286.
