New Procurement Policies

The City has adopted these new policies, because they enable the City to accomplish 4 guiding principles of the finance department.

  1. Be the most cost-effective stewards of funds the City of New Haven’s taxpayers have entrusted us with.
  2. Improve the transparency, accountability, and cost controls of how the City spends funds to support the critical services we provide the residents of New Haven.
  3. Make New Haven more business friendly, adopting changes that improve how we work with and pay our valued vendors.
  4. Complies with the New Haven Climate and Sustainability Framework to lower greenhouse gas emissions

About the Priority Payment Program (PPP)

  • 100% voluntary program focused on helping strengthen our valued vendor’s cash management, to Get You Paid Quicker if our 45-day payment term causes your business an inconvenience.
  • The program will enable the City to release the payment within 24 hours of the invoice being approved verses holding the payment to the 45th day in exchange for a small discount that you propose, as long as it’s fair for both you and the City of New Haven.
  • Enable a stronger relationship by aligning mutual goals of both the City and our vendors.
  • Achieve long-term savings and protect our community services, the City must continually change our methods and processes to compensate for tighter budgets and stretched resources.
  • Vendor has no time or cost associated with tracking down payments.
