Why is the NYC DOE Bid so important?

Every 3-5 years the NYC Dept. of Education releases an RFP (Request for Proposals) for agencies to supply occupational, physical, speech/language therapists, Special Education Services, and more (“Related Services”) to provide treatment to mandated children in public and private schools. Any agency interested in securing this work submits a very important bid New York City Department of Education. The outcome of the bid determines which agencies will get to provide these services in the various school regions in the fall of 2012, and the opportunity to renew for 2 more years
