E-Notify

MPS uses the City of Milwaukee's "E-Notify" site to register vendors wishing to receive email notifications of Bids and RFPs issued by Milwaukee Public Schools, City of Milwaukee, or Milwaukee County. The link below takes you to the "E-Notify" site where you will be asked to provide contact information and will be assigned a password. The password allows you to enter the E-Notify site where you can select specific products and services for which you will receive notification of pending Bids and RFPs. It is recommended that you select the categories of "Other Commodities" and/or "Other Services" to receive notifications of all possible solicitations. You can enter this site as often as you wish to change your selections if necessary.

We may occasionally add new categories if the need arises.

Please Note:

In accordance with Milwaukee Board of School Directors (MBSD) Policy 3.09, all proposed maintenance, new construction, and remodeling projects must be submitted to the Department of Facilities and Maintenance. Furthermore, the department also issues all service orders and contracts for such projects.

Processing the projects and issuing the service orders/contracts in this manner guarantees that all work is performed in accordance with  school board policies for items such as insurance, bonding, wage rates, etc. It also provides for inspections to determine that all work performed complies with requirements, and that  products or equipment used meet district-standardization requirements.
