Learn How to Become a "Prequalified" Partner with BPS

Buffalo Public Schools is expanding it's opportunities for community partners! Under the leadership of Dr. Tonja M. Williams, BPS has developed a Prequalified Community Partner Catalog (PCPC) which provides community-based organizations (CBOs) more access and visibility to our schools and departments. To be listed in the PCPC, you must apply for the "Prequalification for Supplemental Student and Family Support Programs and Services" in Bonfire.

What does it mean to be "prequalified"?

Vendors who apply and are added to the PCPC will remain in the catalog for two years. This allows for schools and departments to view your proposal. This does not guarantee a contract, however, it does increase exposure of your organization.
