The Procurement Services Department maintains a master database of all qualified vendors by classification and commodity code. Below is the process to place your name on the bidder's list as a valid vendor.
- Download and complete the Vendor Application. You can also obtain a copy of the Vendor Application from the Business Office Manager.
- Submit the completed application via email procurementservices@ccc.edu or fax to the attention of Procurement Services at 312.553.2594.
- Procurement Services staff will enter your firm into the CCC vendor database, giving each college access to your firm to obtain quotations for goods and services. Vendors are encouraged to check the Contract Opportunities or Chicago Sun-Times for formal bid projects. Vendors are encouraged to contact the College Business Offices Managers and inform them of the types of products/services they can provide to the campuses.
- If your firm is a certified Minority (MBE) or Woman-Owned Business (WBE), we ask that you include copies of your current certification documents.
- To have your firm certified as an MBE or WBE Business, obtain a certification from one of the acceptable certifying agencies at MBE/WBE Vendors.
