Business Owners Encouraged to Take County Survey
Last updated 8/25/2024 at 4:08pm
Business owners are encouraged to take a survey to help the County of San Diego improve its outreach about contracting opportunities.
The goal is to find out what businesses, including non-profits, need to successfully bid or propose on providing goods and services that help the County serve the public.
The County is assessing its procurement and contracting program (program). They would like to hear from businesses and organizations that assist businesses about their experience with the program.
This information will help the County determine improvements to its procurement and contracting program and increase the diversity of businesses that successfully bid or propose for County contracts, particularly local small businesses.
The County is one of the largest buyers in the region. It spends about $2 billion a year to provide departments with everything they need from pencils to new buildings.
The County regularly holds free workshops to inform small businesses about how to do business with the County.
The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and will remain open through Sept. 30. Questions ask for feedback on any past bid and proposal experiences, input on opportunities to improve the process, and preferences for enhanced outreach and technical assistance. Please note that the survey needs to be completed in one sitting. You will not be able to save answers and return to the survey at a later time.
To access the survey in another language, select your preferred language from the Google Translate widget on the top right-hand corner of the page.
If you need disability accommodations or would like to provide your feedback in an alternate format, please contact econdev@sdcounty.ca.gov and provide your name and preferred contact method and we will connect with you. Alternatively, you may call 619-936-9182.
