Purchasing

The Purchasing Division is a centralized agency responsible for assisting City Departments & Divisions in their procurement activities. Annually this accounts for over $8 Million in purchases. We strive to receive the best value for the goods and services purchased for Farmington Hills needs.

The City of Farmington Hills is a founding member of the Michigan Intergovernmental Trade Network (MITN), a centralized web-based e-procurement system that provides a single point of contact for vendors to access new business opportunities throughout our region.  Key benefits to the MITN system include:

• 24-hour access to business opportunities
• Instant electronic notification and document delivery
• Notification based upon the vendor’s designated product or service
• Vendor-managed system registration
• Bid tabulations
• Reduced processing costs for the City
• Increased competition and exposure to bids and quotes

The City of Farmington Hills Purchasing Division was selected as the 2012 Michigan Public
Purchasing Officers Association agency of the year. This esteemed award is presented annually to the agency that has made significant contributions to the Purchasing profession in the State of Michigan. The Farmington Hills staff was credited with its cooperative purchasing efforts, involvement in creating a LEED Certified Gold City Hall, creation of the MITN e-procurement system and its overall tax savings to the City.
