The County is ready to take action and it starts with you!

The County of Los Angeles is seeking innovative ideas to streamline its contracting process, assist businesses, and identify potential cost-savings to County operations. This effort is part of the County's roadmap to economic recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Actionable ideas will be a part of a special quarterly report to the Board of Supervisors by the Executive Office and Quality and Productivity Commission, in consultation with the Small Business Commission and Economy and Efficiency Commission.

The County wants to hear your ideas or recommendations on how we can improve our contracting and procurement process. We welcome ideas from County employees, residents, businesses, nonprofits, and the community.

Examples of ideas


Grant Reporting

"This project will identify opportunities to improve the federal grant reporting process, by eliminating redundancies and creating efficiencies through improved technology — with the goal of generating a prototype that could be adapted across federal programs, thereby increasing federal grant programs’ efficacy to those being served as well as taxpayers’ return on investment."

Notifications as a Service

“TTS will investigate the opportunity to provide a common solution for government notifications to citizens via email, text message, and other contact methods. Many of the tools that TTS and other agencies build require a notification component, and this project will help TTS understand whether consolidating the ability to send notifications into a shared service available to all agencies would be effective.”
