Procurement plans

Procurement plans and program designs have been developed as an implementation step for the Veterans and Human Services Levy Service Improvement Plan. A procurement plan is written for services provided by community agencies, while a program design is written for services provided by government agencies within King County.

Stakeholder input is an important part of the process of implementing the Veterans and Human Services Levy. As part of the levy implementation ordinance, the procurement plans and program designs are posted for review and comment before being finalized for implementation.
