One of the priorities that Mercer County Executive, Brian M. Hughes set immediately was to open the doors to small businesses for Mercer County contract opportunities. To ensure that every business, big or small has the same opportunities to do business with the County, programs were designed to educate businesses on the procurement process.

Through our partnership with the NJ Small Business Development Center (SBDC) we host free seminars on "Doing Business with Mercer County". The seminars walk businesses through the process from how to get on a bidders list, to step-by-step bid package requirements and how to submit for payment.  In addition, we will also have the ability to utilize our website to post information about bid opportunities and in some cases post the proposals for immediate access to contract opportunities. We hope that you will take advantage of these services and understand that MERCER COUNTY IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
