HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TOWN OF MARANA PROCUREMENT PROCESS

Purpose
This will provide suppliers to the Town of Marana with a basic understanding of the Town’s Procurement process, general requirements and sources of information that might be useful in preparing a response to the Town’s solicitations for materials and services.

General
Town of Marana procurement processes are defined by Arizona State Statutes, the Town Code, which may be revised from time to time, Finance Department’s Accounts Payable and Disbursement Procedure manual and operating procedures.

The Finance Department is dedicated to promoting the conservation of public funds and conducting its Procurement processes in a fair, open, ethical and equitable manner.

Each department procures its own supplies, equipment and materials under the guidance and supervision of the Town’s Purchasing Coordinator. The Purchasing Coordinator, who reports to the Town’s Finance Director, is responsible for issuing all purchase orders and contracts, and monitoring requisitions, purchase orders and contracts for compliance by maintaining documentation and coordinating all formal competitive Purchasing efforts and issues resulting thereof. The Purchasing Coordinator will also assist in the development of processes and procedures, act as the single point of contact for purchasing issues, monitor all bid or proposal openings and develop training for staff and public to help them better understand the purchasing process.
