Vendor Registration
The Town of Palm Beach utilizes a 100% electronic solicitation platform and contract management software. All solicitations, including Bids (ITB), Requests for Proposals (RFP), Requests for Qualifications (RFQ), and Requests for Information (RFI) will be released electronically through the online platform powered by Bonfire.
