Outreach and Communication
How does your hospital encourage and seek out minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers?
Contra Costa County values the contributions of small business and has developed programs to assist in soliciting and awarding contracts to the SBE community. The Board of Supervisors adopted these programs to enable small and local businesses to compete for a share of the County's purchasing transactions. The Contra Costa Regional Medical Center follows County purchasing policies. The Board of Supervisors has set a goal of awarding at least 50% of eligible product and service dollars to small businesses. The Small Business Enterprise (SSE) Program applies to: (1) County-funded construction contracts of $100,000 or less; (2) purchasing transactions of $100,000 or less; and (3) professional/personal service contracts of $100,000 or less. The objective of the program is to award at least 50% or more of the total eligible dollar base amounts to SBEs. A Small Business Enterprise, as defined by the California Government Code, Section 14837, Chapter 3.5 must be: • Independently owned and operated business, which is not dominant in its field of operation; • The principal office of which is located in California, the officers of which are domiciled in California, and which together with affiliates, has 100 or fewer employees; • And have average annual gross receipts of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) or less over the previous three tax years, or a manufacturer with 100 or fewer employees.
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?
The County’s objective is to award at least 50% of eligible products or service dollars to Small Business and each employee involved in the procurement process is encouraged to seek out those suppliers.
How does your hospital conduct outreach and communication to minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises?
In order to encourage the use of small, local, and disadvantaged businesses, the County's E-Outreach Program, using the BidSync e-outreach site. requires bids and Request for Proposals greater than $10,000 to be solicited online. In addition, the data specific to electronic solicitations is developed and provided by the Purchasing Division of the Public Works Department, and reflects outreach to small, women-owned, minority-owned, local, disabled veteran-owned, and disadvantaged business enterprises.
