NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

Statement of Work: The Florida Legislature’s Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA) is requesting proposals from management consulting firms for analyses to help determine the most appropriate means of providing human resources and e-procurement services for the State of Florida, in preparation for the end of the current contracts. Interested and qualified firms may submit a proposal to conduct one or both of these reviews, which were directed by the Florida Legislature in proviso to Specific Appropriations 2853 and 2874 of the 2008 General Appropriations Act.

The purpose of these analyses is to inform the Florida Legislature about a range of issues, including but not limited to staffing requirements, costs, and other important considerations for all post-contract options available to the State of Florida for the next generation human resources and e-procurement systems.

Proposals: Proposals must be submitted in accordance with the content set forth in the “Request for Proposals for an Analysis of the State of Florida’s People First and/or E-Procurement Systems,” dated June 27, 2008. Copies of this document are available electronically from the contact person.

Dates: All interested consultants are required to submit a mandatory but non-binding letter of intent to propose, which must be received by OPPAGA no later than 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Time), Tuesday, July 8, 2008. OPPAGA will have further communications after that date only with those persons who indicate their initial intent to submit a proposal on this project.
