As of April 29, 2022, the Office of Procurement Services will be rolling out a new user-friendly procure.ohio.gov. Please take a minute to review this information to become more familiar with these changes.
The new site will contain more straightforward navigation and keyword search capabilities to find contact information, learner guides, videos, and job aids, to better serve our customers.
The Office of Procurement Services Homepage
On the new Procurement Services homepage, users will see featured links that allow them to Learn about OhioBuys and view Public Solicitations and Current Contracts.
Below the featured links, the most frequently visited pages within the Procurement Services site are listed.
You will also be able to find the latest news from the Office of Procurement Services. By clicking on the “All News” button in the upper right corner, you can view previously posted updates.
Easier Navigation
The new website is broken down into three sections located on the header throughout the site: Bidders and Suppliers, State and Local Agencies, and About Procurement. You can easily navigate to each section by clicking on top navigation throughout the Procurement Services website.
 Users will be able to access their desired content through content cards. In addition to the sections at the top of the page, you can use the breadcrumbs on the upper left-hand side of the page for easy back-and-forth navigation.
