Outreach and Communication
How does your hospital encourage and seek out minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers?
Our supplier diversity program is designed to contribute to the economic health and where possible, reflect the diversity of the community we serve. When looking at identifying vendors, we rely on: -Active contract list identifying vendors contracted through our GPO. -Local business contacts that are proven to be financially stable and that have requested a contract with us. -Vendor diversity self-identification by vendor during RFP and contract process.
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?
Dameron Hospital encourages vendors that qualify as a diverse supplier to contact Purchasing directly or follow Sourcing and Procurement processes and register on our GPO website. Once registered, the supplier is engaged in the official RFI/RFP process.
How does your hospital conduct outreach and communication to minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises?
As a small hospital, we use our GPO mostly. When an opportunity for local sourcing is identified an RFP is sent to local providers.
