Overview

Per C.G.S. Ch. 62 Sec. 4e-13(b)–State Contracting Portal. Requirements. 

The State Contracting Portal, CTsource, was developed to create a single location for all Connecticut executive branch government state contracting opportunities.

CTsource is a secure, web-based statewide eProcurement system implemented by the State of Connecticut to streamline how companies do business with the State.  It is a one-stop shop to register, manage, search, view, and respond to all solicitation and contract related activities the State of Connecticut is tasked with.  CTsource is the repository for all requests for bid or proposal and other solicitations, related materials, and all resulting contracts and agreements by state agencies, as well as a searchable database for locating this information.

Once registered on CTsource, suppliers can maintain and manage their profile which includes modifying contact persons, business address, email addresses, and much more. Additionally, suppliers are required to select the UNSPSC code(s) that best apply to their organization’s business to receive automated email invitations notifying them of solicitation opportunities.
