Welcome to the
Purchasing Division web pages for the City of Myrtle Beach. If you
are interested in becoming a vendor or submitting a
bid, please read all
of the following information. Additional links are available below
and to the left. About the Purchasing Division The Purchasing Division develops specifications and contracts, releases purchase orders, and acquires supplies, equipment and services for the City of Myrtle Beach and its operations. The Purchasing office obtains goods and services for the city through "Invitations for Bids," "Requests for Proposals" and "Requests for Quotes." The Purchasing office also disposes of surplus property and equipment, typically through an annual auction. To uphold its responsibility and accountability in the expenditure of public funds, the office maintains a competitive bidding process in accordance with the city's purchasing ordinance. The Purchasing Division operates in strict compliance with federal and state laws, local laws and regulations, internal policies and professional purchasing principles. The Purchasing Division encourages participation by qualified vendors. Any vendor who has the financial ability, experience, competence and capability to satisfactorily perform the contract may bid. Notices of formal solicitations for goods, services and construction projects are advertised in the local newspaper and/or on-line here. Bid solicitation documents advertised in the local newspaper of general circulation are available for pickup by vendors in the Purchasing office without charge, unless otherwise specified in the solicitation. (A fee is required for some bid documents.) Bid solicitation documents may be automatically provided to companies that complete a vendor application with the City of Myrtle Beach. In that case, registered vendors also will receive addenda to such documents when they are published. However, it is the vendor's responsibility to check regularly for addenda and other changes to solicitation documents when responding to bid solicitations posted on-line here. To request a vendor application by mail, please contact the Purchasing Division. Office Hours and Contact Information The Purchasing Division is physically located at 3231 Mr. Joe White Avenue.
