About this file
This document is a vendor registration guide for the City of Boston's Supplier Portal, detailing the step-by-step process for new vendors to establish accounts and obtain vendor ID numbers to conduct business with the municipality. The guide provides comprehensive instructions for creating user accounts and vendor profiles through the online procurement system at https://procurement.boston.gov. Prospective vendors must complete all required fields marked with asterisks, including business classification (Individual or Business), contact information, and address details. The registration process requires completion of W-9 certification information and acknowledgment that neither the vendor nor the organization is barred from conducting business with the City of Boston. Vendors may opt for direct deposit (ACH) payment or request paper checks via US mail, with direct deposit selected as the recommended option for faster payment processing.
Upon submission of the complete vendor eForm, the City's auditing department conducts a review process that typically requires two to three business days. Once approved, prospective vendors receive their vendor ID number via email, enabling them to participate in City of Boston procurement opportunities. The document identifies one designated contract signer per vendor account who receives electronic signature permissions for accessing, signing, and uploading contracts within the system. Vendors requiring additional assistance can contact Vendor Support Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM Eastern Time at 617-961-1058 or vendor.questions@boston.gov. The guidance was last updated on March 26, 2025.
