Procurement Opportunities with TDH

Doing Business with TDH

To do business with the Tennessee Department of Health, suppliers must register with the State of Tennessee through the Edison Supplier Portal. A supplier may review TDH bid opportunities without completing the registration process but must complete the registration process to be awarded contracts. TDH buys myriad consulting and professional services used within the Department to meet the various demands for providing high-quality public services to Tennesseans. 

Typically, contractors delivering such services are selected through the Request for Proposals (RFPs) process or some other appropriate means and are paid on a "fee-for-service" basis. TDH also uses grant awards to achieve many of its objectives and programmatic responsibilities.  Grants are simply types of contracts that are used to affect an award of funding or property to a grant recipient or "grantee."  A grant benefits the general public or some population of the general public, and deliverables pursuant to a grant contract are comprised of professional services provided to third-party beneficiaries rather than service provided to the state.
