About this file

This document is a procedural guide issued by the Carroll County Government Department of the Comptroller in Maryland that provides instructions for vendors to navigate the Public Purchase website for viewing, downloading, and bidding on county procurement opportunities. The guide details vendor registration requirements, including free registration with Public Purchase and subsequent registration with Carroll County Government, along with instructions for accessing various procurement categories. Vendors can search for closed bids, open bids, contract awards, and notices of intent to award through the Carroll County Government Purchasing Website. The document outlines specific navigation steps for locating bid tab sheets, bid items, bidding procedures, and contract award information, as well as accessing current term contracts organized alphabetically by commodity or service with expiration dates and renewal periods listed. Additionally, vendors can locate information about upcoming Community Investment Projects through the Carroll County Government website portal.

The document establishes that all vendor communications regarding questions or issues related to projects should be directed to Jennifer D. Hobbs, Comptroller, at jhobbs@carrollcountymd.gov or 410-386-2085. The guide emphasizes that all vendors must be registered with Public Purchase to view, download, or access project materials, and provides a "Chat" tab option for vendors requiring additional assistance.
