City of Phoenix had a budgeted $24.6 million contract for landscaping between 2017 and 2022, almost $5 million annually! That contract expires on May 31, 2022, and Phoenix is looking for new, small business landscapers to contract with and share a piece of the pie!

Currently there are 400 locations across the city that require landscaping. Phoenix is looking for multiple landscaping companies to contract with to fill the city's landscaping needs.

Participating in this program and securing a contract means guaranteed money for years with the city. 

“The City of Phoenix Finance Department hopes to lock down multiple contracts with many landscape businesses across Phoenix to bring in guaranteed money for local businesses," said T.J. Martin, Assistant Finance Director. “The goal is to offer help to the local small businesses who may previously have been lost in the procurement process."

LEARN AND MAKE MONEY

The City of Phoenix is partnering with Local First Arizona to host a virtual educational webinar on January 27, 2022, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., to help local landscape companies navigate the city's public contract process. At this e-forum, the City of Phoenix will provide city and industry leaders on topics that can help improve your chances of receiving a bid.  

Based on the interest, Phoenix will be hosting a series of clinics throughout Spring of 2022 that will help local businesses fill out paperwork and learn more about the contract procurement process.

We also want to hear from YOU on how we can help you be more successful and win a contract with the City of Phoenix.
