2. Notice

It is the policy of the City of Winter Park to consistently purchase goods and services by full and open competition. The taxpayers of Winter Park are best served when we make sound business decisions based on competitive bids or proposals. Early acquisition planning, including the Procurement Division, can help to avoid delays and facilitate effective market research. However, there may be instances in which a method other than full and open competition can be justified. If a user department determines that a method alternative to full and open competition is necessary or in the best interest of the City of Winter Park, appropriate justification for that course of action must be submitted to the Procurement Division for approval in order to waive the competitive procurement process.
