The document is the Procurement Strategic Plan of Culpeper County, Virginia, from September 2009. The plan outlines the objectives and strategies for improving the procurement process in the county. The document begins by stating that the primary focus of the Procurement Department in the fiscal year 2010 is the implementation of a strategic plan for the improvement of county procurement. The plan is based on the recognition that significant improvements in procurement statutes, processes, technology, and innovation can result in a more responsive and streamlined procurement system that benefits taxpayers, the business community, and contract users within Culpeper County government. The strategic plan has three priority objectives aimed at improving the county procurement process. The first objective is to shorten the time from need identification to contract and delivery of the actual product. The second objective is to educate newly hired county employees and the public in the county's e-procurement system. The third objective is to consolidate county and school procurement services and contracting. For each objective, the plan provides specific strategies for implementation. For the first objective, the strategies include promoting the use of procurement cards to reduce paperwork and processing time, examining steps in the Request for Proposal (RFP) methodology for streamlining opportunities, and exploring ways to help end-users communicate and clarify their needs. For the second objective, the strategies include educating newly hired county employees on county procurement and promoting and educating local vendors on the county's e-procurement bidder's notification system. For the third objective, the strategy is to consolidate county and school procurement to build consistency across existing contracts, which will allow for more efficient purchasing and greater service to taxpayers. Overall, the strategic plan aims to improve the procurement process in Culpeper County by addressing specific objectives and implementing strategies to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
