New York City,Contract,Medical Services Company

New York City will terminate its contract with DocGo, a medical services company responsible for housing and caring for international migrants, due to concerns over the company's deal with the city and the quality of its services.

Migrants pick up blankets near a Migrant Assistance Center at St. Brigid Elementary School on Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2023, in New York.

Mayor Eric Adams’ office on Tuesday said the city would not renew its contract with DocGo before it expires on May 5 and will instead search for a new housing provider for migrants. The arrangement drew questions from city Comptroller Brad Lander, who in reviewing the contract determined there wasn’t enough detail to justify the cost and that it wasn’t clear how the company had the expertise to transport, house and feed thousands of migrants. also detailed alleged mistreatment of migrants under the company’s care, including issues with health care and food waste, among other things.

The company will continue to provide services for migrants who were relocated upstate until a new vendor is picked. The city will use an existing contract with the company Garner Environmental Services to care for migrants in the metropolitan area, until another vendor is selected.
