Hearing on Sheltered Market Pilot Program Draft Procedures

The Office of Economic Opportunity and Inclusion will hold a virtual hearing to receive feedback and questions from the public about the draft procedures for the City's Sheltered Market Pilot Program

As part of its Sheltered Market Pilot Program, the City of Boston will designate six contracts as available exclusively for minority- and women-owned businesses. The City has written a draft of the procedures for the program.

Learn more about the program on the Sheltered Market website.

These procedures will determine how contracts will be selected, what businesses are eligible to bid, and the process of awarding contracts. You can read the draft procedures.

As is required by Massachusetts General Law, the City of Boston will gather public feedback and answer questions about the draft procedures at a public hearing on February 10, 2022, at 5:30 p.m., before publishing the final procedures.
