Operational procedures for small business encouragement program

It is the objective of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners to provide opportunities for the participation of all responsible and eligible small businesses in Hillsborough County’s procurement and contracting activities.

The County Administrator has the general responsibility for administering the County’s Small Business Encouragement (SBE) Program to provide full opportunities for small businesses to participate in the County's procurement programs, which include construction, contractual services, professional consulting services, and commodities. 

The County’s Small Business Enterprises Division (a division of the County’s Economic Development Department) is responsible for the day-to-day management and implementation of the County’s SBE Program in accordance with these Operational Procedures.
