Mehak Kapoor, Deputy Director for Procurement Operations at MOCS, explains the concept of contract privity in relation to subcontractors in the shelter system.
- Kapoor clarifies that the contract relationship (privity) is between the prime contractor and the subcontractor, not between the city and the subcontractor.
- The prime contractors are responsible for selecting and managing their subcontractors.
- This explanation is given in response to concerns about subcontractor selection and performance.

Councilmember, hi.
1:17:01
Good morning.
1:17:01
Good morning.
1:17:01
Thank you for the question and I think you make a great point.
1:17:04
The thing I just wanna point out is that the contract privity between the sub is not the city of New York.
1:17:11
It's the prime contractor.
1:17:12
So it's these prime contractors that are selecting who they're bringing on board as their sub to potentially continue operations or run operations.
1:17:22
So I just wanna make that clarification about the contract privity between the city of New York and the prime and not the sub.
