The City of Camrose, Alberta, is looking for a company to provide new desktop and laptop computers to replace aging equipment used by municipal staff. This update is intended to reduce system slowdowns and outages, helping city employees provide faster service at front counters and through online portals.

An official invitation for businesses to submit their proposals was posted on February 27, 2026. The city is asking for bids to replace computers across all municipal departments as part of a larger plan to modernize technology. Interested suppliers have until March 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM to submit their offers.

The timing of the purchase is critical because the city’s older software is set to reach its end-of-life on March 31, 2026. The new computers are needed to support a more advanced digital system that will handle tasks such as timesheets, hiring, and expense reports. This move ensures city operations can continue without interruption when the old software is retired.

According to the Camrose City Council, this project is part of a new five-year plan focused on managing city assets and improving internal processes. As of January 2026, the city had spent about $3.5 million out of a total $5.3 million budget approved for broad digital improvements. Local and regional technology companies have the opportunity to bid on the contract to provide the equipment.
