Great Lakes Water Authority (Michigan) — Procurement opportunities via Euna Procurement

Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) is a regional water and wastewater provider for southeast Michigan, and it relies on a network of vendors to keep and improve water and wastewater systems. GLWA posts open procurement activity through its procurement source on Euna Procurement, which also supports vendor registration, solicitation alerts, addenda/document delivery, and electronic submission.

Why GLWA procurement matters for your business

GLWA states that, as it improves water and wastewater systems, it relies on “a network of skilled and efficient vendors.” GLWA also describes its procurement approach as transparent and structured to provide qualified vendors with open and fair access to opportunities. Vendors should plan for GLWA procurement activity to align with ongoing water and wastewater system improvement needs and related contract management. GLWA indicates it demonstrates procurement transparency by providing a searchable database of all contracts on the procurement portal, publishing an annual procurement report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, and providing access to open procurements through Euna Procurement.

What to monitor on GLWA’s procurement source

GLWA’s vendor-facing page explains that registered vendors can receive solicitation alerts customized to the products or services they provide, along with notifications of addendums and documents. GLWA also highlights “advanced notification of term-contracts” for registered vendors. GLWA further notes that its procurement pipeline is a monthly newsletter intended to provide informative updates on doing business with GLWA and to include upcoming solicitations slated for advertisement within the next three to nine months. Vendors who want earlier visibility should treat the procurement pipeline as a core monitoring channel in addition to the open opportunities view.

Vendor readiness steps GLWA expects

GLWA states that all vendors must be registered on Euna Procurement in order to provide goods and services to GLWA. GLWA also emphasizes practical profile hygiene: when registering in Euna Procurement, provide the full and unabbreviated name of your company and keep profile information up to date to ensure you receive GLWA vendor communications. GLWA also states that insurance proof is a mandatory requirement for all GLWA contracts, and that the key document is a certificate of insurance (COI). GLWA indicates insurance requirements are identified in each solicitation and that COIs may need annual renewal for the duration of the contract term.

Capture and compliance strategy to avoid common bid misses

GLWA directs vendors to maintain an up-to-date Euna Procurement profile and to rely on the procurement source for vendor communications, addendums, and documents delivered with solicitations. GLWA also states that no bid submissions will be accepted by email for items posted on Euna Procurement—so vendors should ensure their submission process is aligned to the solicitation’s required method on the procurement source. For high-value work, GLWA describes a Business Inclusion and Diversity (B.I.D.) Program and explains that vendors will be required to submit a Business Inclusion and Diversity Plan for solicitations budgeted at $1 million or more. To reduce compliance risk, confirm whether the solicitation triggers the B.I.D. Plan requirement and prepare the plan artifacts in advance of submission. Finally, GLWA indicates that questions about insurance may be raised during the question-and-answer phase, and that insurance criteria are presumed to be meetable when bids/proposals are submitted—so vendors should treat insurance documentation readiness as part of final pre-submission checks.

GLWA procurement resources and your next steps

1) Register on GLWA’s Euna Procurement environment so you can receive solicitation alerts, addenda/document notifications, and term-contract advance notice. 2) Use GLWA’s “Vendors — Doing Business with GLWA” page to confirm GLWA’s procurement participation expectations, including the requirement that vendors be registered and the emphasis on maintaining accurate vendor profile information. 3) Monitor both open procurements on Euna Procurement and GLWA’s Procurement Pipeline (monthly newsletter) for upcoming solicitations planned for advertisement within the next three to nine months. 4) Review GLWA’s posted procurement policy and vendor terms and conditions through the same vendor resource page, and confirm standard submission and compliance expectations before responding to any solicitation.
