Procurement Management

Vision

The role of procurement in government has changed. With less revenue and more needs, governments throughout our nation are looking at procurement professionals to be more strategic and less tactical. In the past, government procurement staff was perceived as purely process-oriented, transaction- oriented workers. Essentially, departments identified their needs and buyers went about the business of procuring the good or service for the department.

DPM is assertively engaged in this evolutionary process. Within Miami Dade County, DPM is a strategic partner, facilitating value-added purchasing, for every user-department. To that end, our staff must become project managers, leaders and business consultants to the user agencies.
