To increase its engagement efforts, Manatee County’s Procurement Division will host a Supplier Outreach Symposium for suppliers to meet with representatives of Manatee County departments. This event is designed to involve a diverse group of suppliers and provide guidance on how to do business with Manatee County. This will also be an opportunity for suppliers to share information on their services and goods available to Manatee County. The Supplier Outreach Symposium will be held on Wednesday, September 20, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., at the Manatee County Administration Center, 1112 Manatee Avenue West in Bradenton. In addition to networking with other business professionals and members of both the Manatee County Procurement Division and multiple Manatee County departments, the event will include a How to Do Business with Manatee County workshop presentation at 9:00 a.m. and again at 10:30 a.m. The workshop is intended to cover the basics of doing business with Manatee County Government, followed by a brief question-and-answer period.
