THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL WORKSHOP
Are you a small, women-owned, or minority-owned business who wants to do business with the Commonwealth of Virginia?
Small business owners who are looking to participate in Virginia’s specialized procurement and contracting opportunities are encouraged to become SWaM certified. The SWaM certification is a vehicle to promote the economic growth of Virginia’s businesses.
Becoming SWaM certified is just the first step in doing business with the Commonwealth. Each year the state buys goods and services totaling more than $8 billion. The Commonwealth of Virginia wants to do business with you and increase participation of small, women owned, and minority-owned businesses.
This workshop will cover the SWaM Program and designations, certification process and on-line application portal (live demo), required documents needed to apply, and how to use the certification to do business with the Commonwealth’s State agencies, Colleges and Universities as well as a brief intro to eVA, (Virginia’s Online Procurement Portal).
Presented by Angela Barber, Business Services Manager – Hampton Roads/Eastern Shore Region.
