10-A. Bonfire Instructions Procurement Portal.pdf

This is a procurement portal instruction document from the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, detailing the submission requirements and procedures for vendors responding to solicitations. The City of Charlotte is seeking a qualified company to design and develop a comprehensive Small Business Readiness Curriculum that equips small businesses with the knowledge, tools, and resources necessary to compete for City contracting opportunities. The company selected will be responsible for curriculum development only, including the training plan and train-the-trainer training, with curriculum delivery to be conducted by other designated facilitators and organizations. All solicitation questions must be submitted electronically through the Vendor Discussions section of the procurement portal at https://charlottenc.bonfirehub.com, and all submissions must be uploaded, submitted, and finalized prior to the posted due date, with vendors advised to allow sufficient time for the uploading process and to complete submissions ideally one week prior to the deadline.

The City of Charlotte's procurement portal operates through the Bonfire platform and requires vendors to use compatible browsers including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox, with Javascript and browser cookies enabled. Technical support is available through Bonfire's help forum at https://vendorsupport.gobonfire.com/hc/en-us, via email at Support@GoBonfire.com, or by telephone at 1-800-354-8010. The document includes a reference to a five-minute training video on vendor registration and submission available on the Bonfire Vendor Support website. No specific pricing terms, contract term duration, award dates, or other financial details are provided in this instruction document, as it serves solely to guide vendors through the electronic submission process.
