Outreach and Communication
How does your hospital encourage and seek out minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers?
Through our Supplier Gateway Portal, VPH is able to review current spend and identify product segments with diverse suppliers. Through the portal we are able to post contracting opportunities for national, local, and community suppliers. We also work directly with out Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) to review primary and secondary spend in order to identify opportunities for diverse suppliers. We participate in GPO sponsored Supplier Diversity Expos to provide diverse suppliers with equal access to purchasing opportunities. We are in process of establishing a connection through the VPH website for suppliers interested in becoming partners to contact the supply chain group.
How does your hospital encourage its employees involved in procurement to seek out minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers?
As part of the supply chain team – all buyers are being educated and trained in the utilization of the Gateway Portal in an effort to include opportunities for suppliers in our purchasing process and supplier selection process. It is our intention to provide equal access for all suppliers to participate.
How does your hospital conduct outreach and communication to minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises?
We are in the midst of formalizing our Supplier Diversity Program. As we progress, we will conduct outreach through our Supplier Gateway Portal, our Group Purchasing Organization, and our Hospital website.
