Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday rolled out a plan to overhaul how the city’s Education Department inks contracts with outside vendors — a policy designed to address what he labeled as the agency’s “redundant and duplicative spending” and a “lack of accountability.”
Mamdani pitched “curing procurement” as a three-pronged plan, he said, which would cut “wasteful spending,” overhaul the agency’s current procurement architecture, and hold vendors accountable.
