Purchasing

Doing Business with the City


The City of Colonial Heights invites vendors to make themselves known to us. Competition, product knowledge and service are some of the vital parts of a purchasing program. Our vendors are the best source of these vital parts. You are invited to enter into a partnership with Central Purchasing that will result in bringing needed goods and services to the departments of our government, in the quantities needed, when they are needed and at a cost that will make a fair profit for you and a responsible expenditure for the City.

Annual Contracts


The City has several contracts for goods and services that run for a predetermined time period and can be renewed. The contracts are for standard services and off the shelf items that are used on a regular basis by most departments. Please call (804) 520-9333 for more information.

Surplus Property


On occasion, the City will hold an auction sale of surplus property, in conjunction with the City Schools. The auction is normally held at the rear of the CHHS Technical Center on Conduit Road. For more information, or to have your name added to the notice list, please contact Purchasing at (804) 520-9333.
