New Supplier Registration

Current and new suppliers can now register via the web to receive bid opportunities as they become available. Please take a moment to review the website and register your organization so you can be in the know regarding any new business opportunities.

If you are interested in doing business with College of the Mainland, you will need to register as an interested vendor to receive notifications when new bids are opened. 

If you are a current vendor, you will still need to register in order to receive an email with information on bid notification/view bid/submit a bid response. 

Please note that this registration does not make you an approved vendor. Your registration only gives us information to email to email you when a new bid is open for your goods, services, etc.
