Delegates

eProcurement is a full service purchasing system that allows delegate agencies to:

  • Manage Delegate Agency information and account details
  • Review and Respond to RFP solicitations & upload required Information
  • Submit proposals/applications
  • Submit payments/Vouchers
  • Communicate with Departments
Note:  Failure to register will impact the delegate agency’s ability to conduct business with the City of Chicago, as there will be significant delays when requesting payment.
