Description:

The City of Boston has commissioned BBC Research & Consulting, Nunnally & Associates, Kelley Chunn & Associates, and Bevco & Associates, to conduct a Disparity Study to assess whether any barriers exist for small business, minority-owned businesses, and woman-owned businesses to compete for City contracts.

At this Business Outreach Meeting, hosted in partnership with Black Market Dudley, we encourage small businesses to share their testimony about about:

  • Successes or barriers encountered when doing business or trying to do business with the City or its primes;
  • Recommendations for improvements to the existing MWBE Program, and bid/proposal procurement policies and procedures; and
  • The ease or difficulty of identifying City contract or subcontracting opportunities.

All meetings are family friendly, and interpretation is available upon request. Please register for this event here.

At this time, the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) is continuing to host public meetings in a virtual setting for the health, safety, and accessibility of Boston residents. For more information and updates, visit bostonplans.org.
