City implements new e-procurement system
-Suppliers, vendors must register to do business with the City-

Vendors and suppliers who are interested in doing business with the City of San Antonio must register online to be included in the new centralized vendor registry, a feature of the San Antonio e-Procurement System (SAePS). Once implemented, the new e-procurement system will administer all sourcing, procurement, transaction processing, order management and payment support functions for the City.

Current and future vendors and suppliers doing business with the City are asked to complete an online vendor form to ensure they are integrated into the new system. All vendors wanting to conduct business with the City are required to register online at www.sanantonio.gov/purchasing/SAePS_intro.aspx. 

Once registered, vendors will be able to manage user access and business information, receive e-mails of solicitations relevant to their business, receive information on bids, and peruse electronic catalogs, eliminating high maintenance paper catalogs and improving requisition-to-order cycle time.

Vendors and suppliers interested in learning more about SAePS are encouraged to attend an upcoming training session:
