New York City's comptroller is rejecting a massive no-bid contract for a medical services company to provide services to migrants as the city faces a crisis.
comptroller announced Wednesday that he has rejected a $432 million no-bid contract with a medical services company for providing services to migrants, raising questions about how the contract was awarded and the qualifications of the company.
Lander returned the contract to the New York City Housing & Preservation Development department citing concerns over the selection of the vendor, an alleged lack of expertise and what he saw as a lack of vetting from the agency. Hundreds of migrants are seen sleeping outside the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan early Monday July 31, 2023.
He also cited reports that two of DocGo’s subcontractors hired security guards without authorization, and also flagged recent remarks by its CEO, in which he told investors he had a"high degree of confidence" that revenues would stay strong due to the lack of a federal solution to the crisis.
