NYC Procurement Transformation - Leveling the Playing Field

Are you interested in learning more about City contracting processes? The Mayor’s Office of Contract Services (MOCS) is a New York City oversight and service agency that is dedicated to optimizing existing operations and transforming processes to make it easier to do business with the City. The team at MOCS has been working on the next phase of PASSPort, the City’s digital end-to-end procurement platform, which will be expanded in the weeks ahead to include significant new features. The relevance of a completely digital procurement process has never been more apparent than it is today. With this upcoming release, PASSPort will include features that enable: - Easy and early identification of Citywide solicitations with a digital roadmap - Electronic submission of bids and proposals through simple digital questionnaires - Real-time tracking towards registration through an online milestone tracker - Digital contract execution with electronic signatures and elimination of notaries At MOCS, we believe that technology is critical to leveling the playing field and creating access and opportunity, particularly for Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs). Join us as we share more about the upcoming release of PASSPort and how businesses can make sure they are ready to take advantage of the upcoming enhancements. For more information and support, visit nyc.gov/passport or email MOCS at help@mocs.nyc.gov.
