About this Event

The NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS) presents this free online program event for our New York City-certified construction-related Minority- and/or Woman-Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs):

Construction M/WBEs: Meet NYC Agencies, Their Prime Vendors and M/WBE Mentors

Join us and learn best practices from our M/WBE Mentors on how they developed relationships with NYC agencies. You'll also meet some Agencies' prime vendors and hear about upcoming opportunities. Following the panel discussion with the NYC Agencies, prime vendors and the M/WBE Mentors, you can speak directly with NYC agencies who buy construction services, their prime vendors, and our M/WBE Mentors from the construction industry to hear about construction sub-contracting needs for their current and upcoming projects.

Prime contractors are a major source of work for NYC-certified M/WBEs. Large companies with City contracts hire smaller firms—often M/WBEs—for specialties they don’t provide, or to meet the City’s goal of spending 30% of procurement dollars with certified M/WBEs. This is your chance to meet them!

Even if you aren’t interested in working with a prime vendor, you should still come to this event. The City also offers procurements up to $1.5 Million specifically for M/WBEs through the newly expanded M/WBE Non-competitive Discretionary Procurement method. Learn how to find, bid on and win these contracts.
