Want to Provide a Service?
The City Government is currently open to discussing partnerships with private entities who are able to provide the above services, albeit the requirements for this will be strict. The rewards can be lucrative, however, as your company would be paid regularly for the successful provision of these services.

To begin with, view open Government Contracts here, and specifically familiarise yourself with the Tender Process.

If there are no Public Tenders currently available for the service that your company wishes to provide, we are still open to hearing from you. Please fill out the below form and send it to contracts@lsgov.us for consideration.

(( OOC Note: NPC vs Player-Ran ))
(( Obviously not all of the above services are actually actively roleplayed, so the column for NPC/Player-Ran establishes whether there is in fact active roleplay taking place for this service.

When it comes to considering Contract work, we will be prioritising the areas which are currently NPC-ran, to improve the provision of in-game roleplay. However, it's also true that some player-ran areas are somewhat saturated, so we can always look at splitting certain services away if there is a willing and active company for it. Use the links in the table above to see more information about each service and contracts available for it.

For those services which are NPC ran, you can safely assume that they "function, but could function better" for the sake of IC opinion.

Law Enforcement, Fire and Healthcare provision are not currently open for private contracts. ))
