2. To authorize the Office of Procurement Services to execute all supporting

BCC - Regular Board Meeting - 4th Tuesday · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

Lake County's Office of Procurement Services, working with the Information Technology (IT) Department, is planning to continue using State of Florida IT hardware and software contracts. This strategy aims to improve cybersecurity, maintain equipment support, and reduce risks from unauthorized products. The county expects to spend an estimated $2,000,000 annually on IT purchases through these state contracts. This approach is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). The project involves the ongoing procurement of IT equipment and software, which will likely include phases for needs assessment, contract utilization, and vendor management. Local businesses that supply IT hardware, software, or related services through authorized channels could find opportunities. Engaging early before final contract details are set may offer advantages.
