Procurement
Welcome to the website for the Town of Fuquay-Varina Procurement Division of the Finance Department. Our goal is to be good stewards of the Town by keeping the citizens informed on the purpose of the Procurement Division along with current bids and management of surplus property.
Mission
The mission of the Procurement Division is to ensure the cost-effective, efficient, and timely procurement of the necessary goods and services to enable all Town departments to achieve their missions, goals, and objectives and effectively deliver services to the residents, conducted in compliance with applicable State and Federal laws and regulations, locally established ordinances, and approved procurement policies and procedures.
