The City of Mount Clemens is now part of an organization called Michigan Inter-governmental Trade Network (MITN), a group of agencies that joined forces to create a Regional Bid Notification System to notify companies of new bid opportunities partnering with IPT (Interactive Procurement Technologies) by BidNet. All bids, quotations and proposals are now being posted online. All vendors are encouraged to visit www.mitn.info in order to register their company and gain access to new bids and proposals. By selecting automatic bid notification, your company will receive e-mails anytime the City (and all other participating agencies) has a bid opportunity that matches your company’s business. If you do not have internet access, please call 1-800-677-1997, extension 214 and speak to a representative at Bid-Net.
