Vendors: the businesses that register with this institution to provide the goods and services it needs.

Solicitations: a notification detailing the goods and/or services the City of Miami Gardens is planning to purchase.  Solicitations often include important information that a supplier/vendor/bidder needs to know in order to fulfill this request.

Bidding: the process by which a business (ie, vendor) responds to a solicitation for goods and services, and that response (referred to as a bid) is reviewed and compared to other bids.
