Bid Opportunities

Doing Business with the District

The District purchases a variety of goods and services, most of which are purchased through a competitive procurement process. As a municipal government it is our responsibility to ensure that tax dollars are spent in a transparent, responsible, and fair manner while ensuring the maximum benefit for each tax dollar spent.

If you are a supplier interested in doing business with the District of Muskoka, you can access bid opportunities valued at $100,000 or more on Biddingo.

Procurements valued at less than $100,000 are bid by invitation only.
