The City of Providence engaged Keen Independent Research to analyze participation of minority- and woman-owned firms and other groups of businesses in City contracts compared to the availability of groups of companies to perform City contracts and subcontracts. This study is also examining conditions in the local marketplace. Results will help the City assess its current equity efforts and identify any new measures needed to ensure fairness for minority- and woman-owned firms and other businesses in City contracts.
