About

About Civic Marketplace Civic Marketplace is a digital public procurement platform built by and for public servants. We exist to unlock the full potential of public procurement by empowering local government agencies and small businesses with a modern, transparent, collaborative purchasing network. We unlock public service delivery through cutting-edge AI technology, bringing transparency and efficiency with every click. Government agencies have free access to a network of pre-approved, competitively awarded vendors, with 100% legal compliance and quality assurance for every contract. By making it easier for govtech start-ups and locally-owned small businesses to win contracts, Civic Marketplace is helping to boost local economic development while also delivering cost and time savings to agencies across the country. Shorter version: Civic Marketplace streamlines procurement processes by connecting local governments with vetted suppliers for faster, smarter solutions. Founded in 2023 by Ron Holifield and Al Hleileh, with a team across the U.S. and Europe, Civic Marketplace is working with cities to make procurement transparent, efficient, and economically impactful.
