Current Status: Read More.

Senate Bill: S.2219, Bruce E. Tarr

Background: External companies provide crucial services to support the work of municipal governments. Right now, Massachusetts state law is ambiguous in its description of how municipalities can contract to more than one private bidder.

What this legislation does: This bill amends procurement law to clarify a school district, town government, or other entity can award a contract to multiple bidders to complete different components of a service in a request for proposal (RFP).
