To mark National Small Business Week, the Suffolk County Water Authority will host a purchasing forum on Tuesday, May 5 at 11:00 a.m. at its Bay Shore facility, located at 180 Fifth Avenue, Bay Shore, NY 11706.
The forum provides an opportunity for businesses to learn about the products and services SCWA contracts for. SCWA partners with a wide range of vendors across multiple sectors, including construction, information technology equipment, legal and financial services.
"Small Business Week is a fitting time to build new partnerships with local enterprises," said SCWA Chairman Charlie Lefkowitz. "This forum ensures business owners understand our procurement process and how they can work with SCWA to support our infrastructure and daily operations."
National Small Business Week runs from May 3 through May 9. SCWA is dedicated to working with local small businesses to maintain its operations and fulfill its core mission.
"Working with reliable local businesses helps SCWA deliver on its commitments," said SCWA Chief Executive Officer Jeff Szabo. "We rely on these partnerships to continue providing high-quality drinking water to our customers, and we encourage companies to attend and learn how to navigate our contracting procedures."
Attendees will receive information on how to bid on upcoming contracts, the types of services required and the vendor registration process.
