Navigating Ariba for Architects and Designers

Interested in pursuing work with the City of Toronto but unsure where to start? Join the Purchasing and Materials Management Division (PMMD) for a practical webinar designed for architects, landscape architects, urban designers, and other design professionals.

Through a live demonstration of the City's Ariba procurement portal, participants will learn how to create an account, discover bidding opportunities, and submit proposals with confidence. The session will also provide guidance on available support resources and where to go for assistance throughout the procurement process.

Topics will include:

• Introduction to the Ariba procurement portal
• How to register and create an account
• How to find relevant bidding opportunities
• How to submit a bid through Ariba
• Support resources and where to get help

Whether you are new to City procurement or looking for a refresher on the Ariba platform, this webinar will provide practical guidance to help your firm navigate the process and compete for City of Toronto opportunities.

This workshop is being offered as part of Architecture & Design Week 2026 in support of strengthening partnerships with Toronto's design community and encouraging broader participation in City procurement opportunities.
