The first-of-its-kind code of ethics and a business-friendly vendor portal was introduced to an event the county hosted for vendors Thursday, June 6.
The new vendor claims process will enable vendors to submit claims online and have them reviewed and approved electronically by county departments and the Comptroller's office.
These changes were made to make doing business with Nassau more transparent and improve efficiency into the claims process.
“We’re raising the bar for integrity in Nassau County,” said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran.
The Nassau County vendor portal offers online services for vendor registration, solicitation, and vendor disclosure submissions.
The vendor code of ethics ensures that all transactions between the County and its vendors are conducted in a manner of utmost integrity, says the announcement by Curran's office.
These new processes and policies are designed to increase the efficiency, transparency, and integrity of Nassau’s procurement activities.
The Code of Ethics addresses several potential sources of conflict including:
- Gifts or Contingent Fees
- Employment Negotiation Restrictions During and After Procurements
- Conflicts of Interest
- Appearance by Former Nassau County Employees
- Non-collusion
