Outreach and Communication
How does your hospital encourage and seek out minority, women, LGBT, and disabled veteran business enterprises to become potential suppliers?
We have a small business (SB)/ disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) Liaison here at the facility and our facility is also listed in the California office of the small business advocate website as a participant. Being that the facility is located in a small rural town our buyers are continually keeping in touch with local businesses and informing them of the SB/DVBE program and its incentives.
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?
We follow up with our buyers to make sure they have reached out to any and all potential SB/DVBE business for bids and quotes if we do not see these types of business bid or send in quotes. We also do procurement training in which we explain the importance of using SB/DVBE business before using a non-SB/DVBE vendor for purchases. Our SB/DVBE advocate also sends out SB/DVBE line cards to all buyers.
