Procurement & Service Providers

Competitive procurement processes are used by the Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund (CTPF) to select vendors for most major goods and services contracts in compliance with CTPF’s applicable procurement policies. CTPF encourages participation from a diverse selection of businesses. See below for information about our procurement process, policies, and opportunities. Information about specific solicitations is broken down between Investment and Non-Investment Procurements.

Investment Procurements

Below is information on investment-related procurements, such as the procurement of investment advisers (managers) and investment consultants. If you are seeking information on CTPF’s procurement of goods or services that are not related to investments, see Non-Investment Procurements.

Non-Investment Procurements

CTPF selects prospective vendors through a public, competitive, and formal bidding process for most purchases of goods and services anticipated to exceed $50,000. CTPF solicits or researches pricing from three or more vendors for most procurements for goods and services anticipated to not exceed $50,000. All non-investment purchasing at CTPF is done in compliance with CTPF's Contract Administration and Procurement Policy.
