Detroit Housing Commission announces it has joined the MITN Purchasing Group, an e-Procurement solution from BidNet, to help simplify their purchasing process and make it easier for their vendors to access and compete for bids and RFPs. Detroit Housing Commission invites all potential vendors to register online with the MITN Purchasing Group to access its upcoming solicitations.
As a member agency of the MITN Purchasing Group, Detroit Housing Commission joins a community of 220 participating local government agencies located throughout Michigan. The MITN Purchasing Group offers a way for Detroit Housing Commission to collaborate with like-minded public purchasing professionals in the area in order to share resources and attract local vendors.

• 24-hour access to local government opportunities
• Bid alerts customized to the vendors’ products or services
• Reliable and timely delivery of notifications, addendums and documents
