Mission Statement
The Purchasing Division ensures that taxpayer dollars are being spent in the most efficient and cost effective manner. To achieve this, the Purchasing Division solicits by telephone, fax or e-mail sealed written quotes and sealed written bids and proposals. Sealed written quotes are opened at 10:30 a.m. and sealed bids and proposals are opened at 11:00 a.m. in the Purchasing office.

It is the responsibility of the Purchasing Department to purchase:

• Materials, equipment, and supplies for all city departments.
• School lunches to custodial supplies.
• Co-sponsor an annual auction for out-dated equipment for any city department.

The Purchasing Division welcomes anyone interested in doing business with the City of Fall River. Purchasing has a Bidder Registration File. To be included in this file, go to the Bidder Registration File, fill out the Bidder Registration Form and submit your registration.

In addition, outside the door of the Purchasing office is a list of supplies and services that are currently out for bid. For more information on how to submit a bid or proposal, please call or see a division employee.
