California Public Contract Code

The California Public Contract Code outlines the rules and procedures for how public entities, like cities and state agencies, enter into contracts for goods and services. It ensures transparency, fairness, and accountability in the procurement process. Key provisions include bidding requirements, contract management, and dispute resolution. The goal is to protect public interests, prevent corruption, and ensure that taxpayer money is spent wisely. Essentially, it’s a legal framework that governs how government entities purchase goods and services, ensuring they get the best value while adhering to established standards and regulations.
