Purchasing & Bid Opportunities
Responsibility
The Purchasing Department’s responsibilities include the procurement of supplies, materials, equipment, and services. Metrocare assumes no liability for payments and obligations except those incurred in accordance with Metrocare’s purchasing procedures.
Bid Advertisements
Metrocare places formal bid advertisements in area newspapers, which include the Dallas Morning News and local community and minority newspapers. Formal bids are advertised twice in the Dallas Morning News and once in other papers.
Notices of formal bids are posted in several locations in the Dallas area, including the Dallas County Purchasing Offices, the NCTRCA office, minority chambers of commerce, and various business development offices.
Metrocare has partnered with OpenGov and is excited to announce our transition from a paper-based bid solicitation process to a fully automated, web-based electronic bidding and vendor management system.
Our new e-Procurement Portal will allow interested parties to do the following:
- Register to bid and receive notifications of future opportunities in the e-Procurement Portal by selecting Subscribe to create an account.
- Follow updates to existing solicitations by finding the solicitation and clicking the Follow button. This will allow all interested parties to receive solicitation updates automatically.
- Submit questions and receive answers for open solicitations.
- Guide vendors through the process of responding electronically to RFPs, bids, etc., to ensure submissions have been accurately completed.
- Ultimately, it will be your prime location for all bid opportunities issued by Metrocare.
Vendors can register with OpenGov for free. To register with OpenGov, click here.

To qualify as a minority or woman-owned company for the Center, a company must be certified as a minority or woman-owned business by the NCTRCA or State of Texas Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) process.
