Purchasing - Introduction

On May 1, 2013, Beaver County School District became subject to the Utah state procurement code. State legislative mandates require the district to comply with the ethics, laws, rules, and provisions associated with state procurement code.

The purpose of this mandate is to 1) strengthen ethical government purchasing in our district, 2) provide for open, fair, and competitive government purchasing in our district, and 3) strengthen transparency regarding purchasing decisions, processes, and procedures.

All schools, programs, and employees fall under this compliance requirement. Annual audits and many other federal and state laws and grant provisions are directly connected to purchasing compliance. To help schools, programs, and employees manage their responsibilities and better understand purchasing options available, the district has developed its website resources to assist in this effort. Employees should refer to this website often as it provides tools, training, forms, explanations, and other purchasing resources.
