Recent changes to the City of New York’s procurement process have increased the flexibility of city agencies in procuring goods and services and create a framework for increased speed and efficiency in the award of city-funded contracts for services to certain of the city’s residents. At the same time, procurements by city agencies continue to be challenged, and must be defended, on grounds relating to procurement procedures. Activities relating to contracting and procurement are primarily the responsibility of two divisions of the Law Department: the Contracts and Real Estate Division, and the Commercial and Real Estate Litigation Division.

Two recent procurement innovations have received considerable attention from the division: “best value” procurements and the HHS Accelerator.
