Are you a vendor that's interested in doing business with CTA? We're working to make it easier for potential bidders to get a full picture of upcoming contracting opportunities and have put together this Buying Plan as a resource for vendors.
This document is designed to preview purchases of services, equipment and commodities that we anticipate in the next 18 months, many of which are related to our day-to-day transit operations, including specialized parts and services (such as printing), as well as information related to construction projects, like the Red Line South reconstruction, which will begin in 2013.
The Buying Plan also includes information on how to participate in CTA's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Small Business Programs, along with some helpful resources for both prospective and current vendors.
