Business Engagement and Opportunities Program (BEOP)
The Business Engagement & Opportunities Program (BEOP) supports all businesses, including small, emerging, growing, and under-capitalized businesses, by providing increased access to City contracts and resources.
The City of Raleigh has many project opportunities for the Business Engagement and Opportunities Program to participate in across Construction, Goods, Professional Services, or Services procurement types.
Learn more about upcoming project opportunities: Project Pipeline.
To bid on live projects, visit the NC Electronic Vendor Portal (eVP). Click on Search Open Bids in the menu bar near the top, then select City of Raleigh from the Department drop-down menu, and then click Search.
The City of Raleigh has concluded a disparity study to determine whether a government entity, either in the past or currently, engages in exclusionary practices in the solicitation and award of contracts to underutilized businesses.
