The City and County of San Francisco is launching a contracting equity study to better understand and address barriers that small and local business enterprises face when trying to access the City’s contract and procurement opportunities. The results of the study will inform efforts to improve the City’s 14B: Local Business Enterprise program and encourage more small and local businesses to partner with the City in delivering goods and services.

The City invites you to add your voice to the study. With the support of BBC Research & Consulting, a leading contracting equity research firm, the City will host (2) community engagement sessions to provide information about the study, answer questions, and collect insights about business conditions in the San Francisco marketplace. Your perspectives will be integrated into the study.

You do not have to register to attend the meeting, but we encourage you to sign up so we know how many people will attend. Register here: https://forms.gle/2AzZtjFLz4kQsPvr8
