Restler asks how the city intervenes with underperforming agencies like Health

There is significant variation in MWB performance across city agencies.

Some do pretty well.

Some seem to not care about this at all.

In the previous administration, just looking at the data from previous years, I imagine this administration, everybody will make it a big priority and everything will be perfect.

But, for example, DDC seemed to be performing significantly better than the health department, for example.

Could you just walk me through an agency like the health department failing to do its job, not taking contracting with MWE seriously, not making it a priority?

What's your intervention to try to get them to course correct?

Right.

So once again, we're looking at data on a more regular basis.

I'm having meetings with agencies and at the committee.

missioner level, working with their ACCOs and working with their MWB staff, giving them the support that they need, creating programming that would allow them to do a more effective job in their contracting.

So we are up close and personal.

And, you know, it has to be the...

Error of transparency and accountability.

And we are using the data in order to drive effective change at these agencies, allowing them to do a more effective job of broadening their contract awards.

For the public, what's the best real-time information or kind of regularly updated information that we can access to understand how agencies are performing throughout the fiscal year?

Well, certainly with the introduction of B2G, it's going to give us like almost real-time of contract award data.

And also, more importantly, once again, the payment data.

And so once the system is fully operational, we can generate data almost on a daily basis.

Great.

So I think we'll have to figure out a...

Public reporting cadence of the B2G data as that platform comes online.
