The Central Procurement Division is a centralized purchasing
office that is responsible for the procurement of commodities and
services for the various County departments and select agencies.
This website was developed to assist you in the bidding process
and to provide you a better way of doing business with Aiken County
Government.
|
Vendors new to Aiken County must complete a Vendor Application, available
here. Please complete the application as it applies
to you, including the General Company Information and Address
Information sections, and then mark the appropriate Commodity
Codes. Please fax or mail the completed application to Central
Procurement.
Invoices are to be sent to Central Procurement. In order for
Aiken County to process the invoices for payment, you must list
the Purchase Order number on the invoice. Please make sure that
all Aiken County accounts are listed under Aiken County Government
and not the individual departments.
Current open solicitations, and information on recently awarded
items, are available by clicking here.

| Aiken County has contracted with DemandStar for
maintenance of an automated bid notification system categorized
by specific commodities and services. |
 |
| Vendors who have subscribed to the service
are notified by fax or e-mail whenever an Invitation for
Bid or Request for Proposals has been offered for the commodity
or service offered by the vendor. Bid documents and updates
can be downloaded from the DemandStar
website. Vendors can subscribe with DemandStar at their
site or by calling 800/711-1712.
The DemandStar system provides a number of advantages
to participating vendors:
- Electronic notification of bid opportunities the same
day they are approved.
- Learn about bids for Aiken County and other agencies
directly related to your business without monitoring
numerous sources.
- Receive notices, download bid documents and receive
bid updates all from one central source.
Aiken County is pleased to offer you this program. However,
vendors are not required to subscribe to the DemandStar
system to obtain bid documents or to do business with Aiken
County. Vendors can continue to check this County website
or contact the Central Procurement Division regarding bid
opportunities.
