On September 28, the Harford County Department of Procurement, in partnership with the Harford County Chamber of Commerce, hosted its second annual “Meet & Greet” for local businesses to learn about doing business with Harford County government.

Procurement Director Karen Myers led the discussion on topics including insurance and other requirements, the meaning of “best and final offer,” and the importance of achieving “best value.” Director Myers told the audience of more than 40 attendees that fair competition and best value are key to all public procurements.

Moving forward, Harford County will continue to follow best practices in procurement as it strives to ensure maximum value for taxpayer dollars.
