Everyday Ethics for Local Officials Let's Make a Deal: Securing Goods and Services For Your Agency

摘要

I'm very frustrated with our agency's contracting process. There's a ton of red tape and it takes forever for vendors to go through the process and then for us to make a decision. Lots of business people I know simply choose not to go through the process because it costs them so much for so little return. Because my own company does business with these folks, I can personally attest that they would give the agency quality results at a competitive price. What am I missing here in terms of what best serves the public's and the agency's interests?
