The City of Fort Worth started advertising, collecting responses, and awarding solicitations through Bonfire for all procurements posted on or after January 1, 2024. All procurements posted before that date will follow the previous process of submitting hard-copy bids, as directed in the bid documents. Learn more about Bonfire here.

 

The City of Fort Worth welcomes the opportunity to do business with interested suppliers in the community by fostering participation from all qualified business individuals offering goods and services that may be used by the city.

Registration in the City’s bidding portal, Bonfire, will notify registered participates of current City bids.

Registration in The PeopleSoft Supplier portal is required for all suppliers regardless if participating in bidding opportunities.

Please register in both portals:

It is the sole responsibility of the supplier to maintain and update their profile via the PeopleSoft Supplier Portal. For security purposes, the City cannot make changes to a supplier account.

Updating Supplier Information

Once registered, the Supplier is required to use the PeopleSoft Supplier Portal to keep their information up-to-date and to notify the city immediately of any changes in key contact personnel information, remit to addresses, and banking information. 

Note: A change in name because of a merger or other corporate restructuring is considered an assignment because there is a different legal entity before and after the restructuring.

The city's written approval is generally required for changes to a supplier’s name or Taxpayer Identification Number and for any assignment of a city purchase order or other contract. This requirement applies both to the assignment of a stream of payments from the city (including, but not limited to, an accounts-receivable financing arrangements) as well as to the assignment of the entire agreement (both the stream of payments and the supplier's service obligation).

The city will not issue payment to a different name or different Taxpayer Identification Number until all required forms and documentation have been submitted and approved. The city is not responsible for late charges or service stoppages resulting from a supplier’s delay or failure in submitting required forms and documentation in a timely manner.

 

Note: If you have any questions about the registration process or maintenance of your information, please email the vendor registration administrator at FTW_ERP_Vendor_MGMT@fortworthtexas.gov. Someone from the Financial Management Services team will be happy to assist you.

Important: If the name of your firm changes, do not attempt a name change update in this system. You must email the Vendor Management Team at FTW_ERP_Vendor_MGMT@fortworthtexas.gov to coordinate a name change.
