Register your local business to help City employees, residents, and other organizations make buying decisions.

Registering your local business provides several benefits for you and your business:
  1. Free marketing — this directory is used by City of Madison agencies in selecting vendors to purchase from, and may also be accessed by the general public.
  2. Responses to formal solicitations by the City will be given preference points if the responder is registered as a Local Business. For Request for Quotations and Request for Bids, there is a 1% preference given: if a local vendor submits a bid within 1% of the lowest non-local bidder, the purchase is awarded to the local vendor. For Request for Proposals, a bonus of 5% is added to the total score for all registered local vendors.
