Get paid by the city — 9th Annual Procurement Vendor Fair

CHICAGO — All of the goods and services purchased by the City of Chicago have to come from somewhere and someone and the Department of Procurement Services (DPS) is trying to show people how to land those contracts.

Thursday DPS is hosting its 9th Annual Procurement Vendor Fair to provide information, education, and networking opportunities for the business community. Mayor Lori Lightfoot is also scheduled to speak at the event at approximately 10 a.m.

We are planning to livestream Lightfoot’s remarks in their entirety within this story beginning at approximately 10 a.m. The story will then be updated with details shortly after the conclusion of her remarks.
