Procurement

About Us

The Procurement Department includes Purchasing and the Warehouse. Together, these areas manage the acquisition of commodities and services; the storage and distribution of applicable commodities. 

The Purchasing Division is responsible for facilitating organizational purchases through the solicitation and selection of vendors, negotiation of contracts, and execution of purchase agreements. 

The Warehouse manages materials ranging from office supplies and small tools to construction materials and electric transmission components.

  1. How Denton's Bidding Process Works

An informal or written quotation process is used for purchases or projects costing less than $50,000, allowing individual City Departments to work directly with vendors and service providers, also referred to as "suppliers." 

Purchases or project costs over $50,000 must go through a formal, sealed solicitation process in accordance with State law. Learn more in the Bidding Process Guide.

The City is committed to the inclusion of minority and women-owned businesses. The department is currently working to establish a program to engage WMBE/HUB business and meet State Law requirements. The Purchasing Department recommends suppliers ensure they are registered through the State of Texas and the City’s Supplier Registration System, which both provide opportunities to do business with the City.
