Are you looking to improve your vendor certification program to align with your overall procurement equity strategy? Is your jurisdiction aiming to make certification processes more accessible and less burdensome for businesses?
Join the Procurement Excellence Network for a training session that explores the benefits and challenges of vendor certification programs. In this interactive session, we’ll discuss 1) how to assess whether to launch a new certification or leverage reciprocal certification opportunities, 2) how to examine an existing certification program to streamline and reduce burdens placed on businesses, and 3) how to move beyond a certification program to support certified firms to meaningfully participate in upcoming contracting opportunities.
Whether you're just beginning to consider vendor certification or looking to improve an existing program, this session will provide practical tools to support making procurement processes more equitable and accessible to disadvantaged businesses.
Please note that immediately following the event, an optional 30-minute open forum will be held for attendees to ask questions and share best practices. We look forward to seeing you there!
