The County of San Mateo and the GCAP team are committed to engaging the public meaningfully as part of the Supplier Diversity Study. The study team will host various events throughout the course of the Study to help the public understand the purpose of the Study and to offer opportunities for the public and various stakeholders to submit comments about their experiences with, and perceptions of, working in San Mateo County.

The events schedule will be updated regularly. Please check back periodically for those updates.

Public Meetings.  The study team will conduct six public meetings with at least two to be held in person and four virtually:

  • Four public meetings will be held near the start of the Study to explain the purpose and approach of the Study, introduce the study team, and to allow local business owners, trade associations, and other knowledgeable individuals the opportunity to provide input. There will be a formal presentation followed by a Q&A session to allow attendees to share verbal or written comments.
  • Two public meetings will be conducted at the end of the study period. The purpose of the meetings is to share findings and recommendations and provide business owners, trade associations, and other knowledgeable individuals the opportunity to provide feedback.
  • Information and comments collected at the public meetings will be anonymously integrated into the Supplier Diversity Study

Upcoming Events

The County of San Mateo is happy to announce the release of the Supplier Diversity Study, The full Study is now available on this website Supplier Diversity Study | County of San Mateo, CA (smcgov.org).  The completion of this report will enable the County to design strategies to move closer towards shared prosperity and reverse historical inequities by removing barriers for local, micro, small businesses to access the County’s procurement opportunities. The County is grateful to the vendor community who participated in community forums and surveys to inform the findings and recommendations of the Study.

We are inviting you to join one of two virtual forums where we will share the Study’s key findings, recommendations, and next steps. We will share updates on actions the County has taken so far to advance inclusive procurement, and we will have time for questions and answers.
