With over 60 departments each with their own procurement director or officer, doing business with the City of Philadelphia can be a labyrinth of applications, relationships, and red tape. This virtual meeting with the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Human Services (DHS) will give Chamber members insight into DHS’ procurement process and learn the steps it takes to work with them.
As a series of virtual programs, Doing Business with the City: Pathways to Procurement brings in department procurement leads to allow for Chamber members to learn the procurement process utilized by each department and build relationships with the decision makers.
Once your registration is received, we will share a calendar invitation with Zoom information the day before the meeting. Submit your questions for DHS to Maria Flores at mflores@chamberphl.com.
