Procurement

Rockingham County strives to provide for the fair and equitable treatment of all persons involved in public purchasing by the County, to maximize the purchasing value of public funds in procurement, and to provide safeguards for maintaining a procurement system of quality and integrity.

The Finance Director is the County's official purchasing agent and the Finance Department is responsible for managing all procurement for Rockingham County.
