Upcoming workshops aim to boost the number of minority-owned businesses that win contracts with San Bernardino County.
The San Bernardino County Equity Element Group has joined with the county to stage seminars called “Empowering Minority-Owned Businesses: Your 101 Guide to Contract Bidding Success.” The sessions aim to “equip participants with the skills and knowledge” to get county contracts, a news release states.
“These workshops are designed to help people of color access and increase the number and size of contracts obtained through the procurement process,” the Rev. George Lamb, chair of the group, said in the release.
Seminars will cover topics that include managing vendor accounts, bid request templates, submitting quotes and useful strategies.
Businesses can register online with ePro at the Purchasing Department website.
