Bid opportunities

The RDCO issues and receives all of its Request for Proposals, Invitation to Tender, Request for Quotes and other competitive procurement processes online through the bids&tenders™ system. Contractors and suppliers that are interested in supplying goods and services to RDCO can create an account and register for categories they can supply.

The bids&tenders™ system is also used by two of the RDCO's member municipalities – City of West Kelowna and District of Lake Country. Contractors and suppliers only need to create one account which can be used to access each government's page on the platform through their individual websites.

Surplus equipment

The RDCO disposes of surplus equipment and material through a fair bidding process.
