BACKGROUND
Background
The Purchasing Department monitors the County's MWBE participation throughout the year. The State goal for MWBE participation is 10%, and Guilford County's participation rate has trended at 8% over the past few years. The County has observed a decline in local MWBE providers, which is attributed to economic challenges for these business owners. The County offers informational sessions twice a year and participates in three (3) additional collaborative outreach efforts throughout the year to attract new MWBE businesses to bid for services.
