Procurement

The Office of Business and Community Engagement serves as the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District's (MMSD) contracting authority by conducting open, fair, and timely procurements founded upon the best practices in public purchasing. Recognizing our role as a significant regional economic player, the office oversees MMSD's social responsibility policies incorporated into all contracting and sourcing opportunities, from the Small, Women, and Minority Owned Business Enterprise participation goals to utilizing local workers and vendors.

To help ensure MMSD is engaging local businesses and workers reflective of the diversity we serve, the office manages the Workforce & Business Development Resource Program's resources, including capacity-building training, pre-apprenticeship training, and external internships.

MMSD's commitment to triple bottom line benefits, the office plays a significant role in advancing and evaluating the social and economic benefits to the community – whether it’s building rain barrels using a local job training program or utilizing local volunteers to build green infrastructure projects in our neighborhoods. In this capacity, the office serves as a technical resource to all departments to expand neighborhood and community engagement and then measure and track community benefits and impact.
