Rhode Island S2822 amends the state's purchasing laws to define public-private partnerships and create a framework for their use. The bill mandates the Department of Administration to create rules for evaluating, soliciting, and entering into public-private partnership agreements. These rules must promote the use of such partnerships. The chief purchasing officer must consult with various stakeholders during rule development. State agencies using public-private partnerships remain responsible for oversight and must award contracts competitively.
