What is the procurement office responsible for?

We are governed by the Region's Purchasing By-law, which is the policy that dictates the processes required for spending public funds. The Purchasing By-law is updated every five years. All amendments to the by-law require Regional Council approval.

Procurement is responsible for purchasing all goods and services for all divisions within the Region.  We are responsible for the complete end to end competitive bid process, vendor performance evaluations and contract negotiations.  All purchases in excess of $150,000 are reported to Regional Council.
