What is the Procurement Department responsible for?
The Procurement Department is responsible for the complete end to end competitive bid process, vendor performance evaluations and contract negotiations. All purchases in excess of $100,000 are reported to County Council.
We are governed by the County’s Purchasing By-Law, which is the policy that dictates the processes required for spending public funds. The Purchasing By-Law is updated every five years. All amendments to the by-law require County Council approval.
