Description

Freelancers Hub is a dedicated program for New York City freelance workers offering education and other resources.The Freelancers Union is currently a sub-subcontractor under an agreement between MOME and EDC, issued under the Citys master contract with EDC for economicdevelopment related services. The Freelancers Union operates a co-working space called the Freelancers Hub in the Made in NY Center and provides training and counseling to freelancers, many of whom work in the media and entertainment industries. These services are important to support an important sector of the Citys economy because one in three workers in New York City have freelanced in the past 12 months, which is over 1.3 million residents. The Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications, acting on behalf of the Mayors Office of Media and Entertainment, is seeking the use of the Negotiated Acquisition Method to contract with the Freelancers Union, Inc., to operate the Freelancers Hub and provide services relating to freelance workers, pursuant to Section 3-04(b)(2)(i)(C) and Section 3-04(b)(2)(ii) of the Procurement Policy Board (PPB) Rules.

The term of the Freelancers Unions sub-subcontract with IFP ended on June 30, 2020. MOME has a continued need for the services that the Freelancers Union provides because freelance workers, especially those working in media and entertainment, were substantially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Freelancers is an excellent partner and this is MOMEs most important contract to help media and entertainment freelancers recover from COVID-19. For now, Freelancers will be providing services to freelancer workers virtually, and when freelance workers are ready to go back to in-person work, theyll establish a new space. Because these services are needed to address the COVID-19 recovery, there is inadequate time to procure through a competitive sealed proposal.
