The city’s Administration for Children’s Services is rebidding a contract after Comptroller Brad Lander raised concerns that it wasn’t competitively bid.

New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services withdrew a contract from a vendor with ties to high-ranking City Hall officials after city Comptroller Brad Lander raised numerous red flags about the potentially favorable deal, according to a letter obtained by Gothamist.

An ACS official told Gothamist that the agency is rebidding the contract due to the comptroller's concerns. The official said ACS conducted a "mini-bid" — a more limited bidding process — and Derive was the only company that applied. The letter shows that the comptroller raised concerns about “inconsistencies and defects” in “how ACS approved the contract,” leading to the comptroller rejecting the contract last week.
