Purchasing uses a variety of procurement methods\, in accordance with the Purchasing By-law\, encouraging the competitive bid process. Purchasing adopts the goal of fairness by ensuring that all who wish to compete for the opportunity to sell to the City can do so.​ \n\n\n\nIn line with Brampton City Council’s priorities of creating more opportunities and embedding diversity in our operations\, the City launched a Supply Chain Diversity program. \n\n\n\nWe have embedded​ supplier diversity as part of the City’s Invitational Procurement process ($25\,000 to $100\,000). Suppliers who would like to participate in this program will have to be certified as a diverse supplier through established non-profit Supplier Certification Organizations. \n\n\n\nGoods and services the City of Brampton purchases to name a few: \n\n\n\n•       Construction of buildings and infrastructure \n\n\n\n•       Renovation and Maintenance of buildings \n\n\n\n•       Snow removal and landscaping services \n\n\n\n•       Janitorial services \n\n\n\n•       Security services \n\n\n\n•       Electrical services \n\n\n\n•       Plumbing services \n\n\n\n•       Office supplies \n\n\n\n•       Consulting and professional services \n\n\n\n•       Fleet vehicles \n\n\n\n•       Clothing\, Uniforms\, Safety Clothing \n\n\n\n•       Pest control services \n\n\n\n•       Concession Foods and Equipment \n\n\n\n•       Courier services \n\n\n\n•       Specialized equipment for Fire and Emergency Services  \n\n\n\n•       Fuel \n\n\n\n•       Advertising \n\n\n\n•       Specialized services for the Rose Theatre \n\n\n\n\n \n Our Team \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Claudia Santeramo (She/Her) \n\n \n Manager\, Procurement Performance \n \n \n \n City of Brampton URL:https://queerchamber.ca/event/meet-the-city-of-brampton/ CATEGORIES:Certified Supplier ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://queerchamber.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/Meet-The-Buyer-2024-3.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
