About the City of Toronto

The City of Toronto’s Social Procurement Program aims to drive inclusive economic growth by embedding supply chain diversity and workforce development initiatives in its procurement processes through:

• Increasing access to City procurements for businesses certified as being 51% or more owned, managed, and controlled by persons from Indigenous, Black, and equity-deserving communities.
• Encouraging companies doing business with the City to subcontract with certified Diverse Suppliers.
• Increasing the number of employment, apprenticeship, and training opportunities for persons from Indigenous, Black, and equity-deserving communities.

City staff purchasing goods and services between $3,000 and $100,000 are required (where feasible) to invite at least one certified Diverse Supplier to submit quotations as part of a three-quote process. To facilitate this, the Social Procurement Program team compiles a monthly list featuring certified Diverse Suppliers registered with the City. This comprehensive list is shared with divisional purchasing staff to promote awareness and accessibility of a diverse pool of suppliers.

The City of Toronto works on the SAP Ariba platform – the City’s electronic bidding system. To register, please go to the City of Toronto’s Registration Page and complete the Diverse Supplier Registration Process. It is a three-step process:
1. Fill in all the details on the Supplier self-registration request form and click on Submit.
2. Once your registration request is approved, you will receive an email notification from SAP Ariba indicating that you have been invited to register and become a supplier with the City of Toronto. Please select sign-up to create an SAP Ariba account or log-in to an existing SAP Ariba account. You will then be taken to fill out the Supplier Registration Questionnaire. Please provide all required information and click ‘Submit Entire Response’.
3. You will then receive a Diverse Supplier Modular Questionnaire. Please provide required Diverse Supplier certificate details and submit.
Once your registration on SAP Ariba is approved, your business will be registered on the City’s Diverse Supplier List.

In addition to registering for the Social Procurement Program, suppliers can select goods and services for which to receive procurement notifications as part of registration in SAP Ariba.

Further information on SAP Ariba, as well as viewing and bidding on City opportunities, can be found on the Doing Business with the City webpage.
