RE: 7R1 031925 To Provide Equipment and Cleaning Supplies
Council Member Patrick O. Council requested Central Purchasing provide the Governing Body with further information regarding Newark-based vendors contract procurement efforts. In this regard, what was the total number and percentage of Newark-based vendors who were awarded City contracts in 2024? 2023? What new initiatives will be implemented to increase Newark based vendors participation in 2025? What efforts are being made to ensure Newark-based contractors are being paid in a timely manner?
