Budget Advocacy and Procurement
Helping clients navigate Maryland’s stratified and complex procurement system
The Administration and both chambers of the Maryland General Assembly have roles to play in determining the outcome of the State budget. SMWK represents clients seeking resources in the State budget, from capital funding for a project to operating support for a non-profit or a specialized program.
We assist clients that depend upon State budget line items to ensure they receive adequate funding on an annual basis. SMWK knows how to effectively advocate with each to ensure that a client’s budget request has the maximum prospect of success. SMWK also works with clients that have or are seeking contracts with State government. SMWK advises clients throughout the procurement process and facilitates meetings and introductions with key agency leadership and staff.
