A practical approach to good government
 

PROCUREMENT WHITE TAPING

Dealing with state mandated rules of procurement focuses on government at its worst. While the rules were originally devised to insure fairness and protect the interests of the people, in reality they have become the embodiment of the pervasive red tape so evident in modern day officialdom. Unless your municipality is lucky enough to have its own procurement department, red tape is a major problem. With the limited overworked staff available to most municipal managers, the job of buying badges, office equipment, and even park benches is often daunting. Add the imposed complexity surrounding large grant related projects, and the unfortunate result is that too many municipalities are forced to settle for second rate or outdated products. Creative Enterprises can help. By organizing a government buying group, doing much of the research ahead of time, and providing our municipal partners with informed decision making tools, Creative Enterprises can bring good government back into purchasing.
