Purchasing

The County of Lambton purchases a significant amount of goods and services in its daily operations. The purchasing function is coordinated through the Financial Services Division. The County governs expenditures utilizing a Council Approved purchasing policy. This policy dictates the method to be employed when purchasing any item or service, dependant upon the commodity and the dollar value of the order.

The County endeavours to ensure that all qualified vendors have the opportunity to bid on goods and services required. Purchasing policy assures that all vendors are treated in a fair and equitable manner. Staff must also adhere to a code of ethics in all purchase related decisions.

County issued requests for Quotation, Tender or Proposal are advertised in local, regional or National Newspapers (depending upon the dollar value of the requirement).
