About this file
This is a bid submission for the Early College Statewide Growth Plan (27OECPJ1), a consulting services procurement jointly issued by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Department of Higher Education (DHE). The project requires a qualified consultant or consulting firm to develop a comprehensive statewide roadmap for expanding early college participation from approximately 10,000 students currently to 20,000, 40,000, and ultimately 100,000 students by 2036. The deliverable is an evidence-based growth plan that establishes practical strategies for scaling early college programs across the state. The request for responses (RFR) sought proposals from qualified consulting firms capable of conducting extensive analysis and stakeholder engagement to inform the expansion strategy.
The bid submission provides detailed responses to the state's requirements, demonstrating the proposer's qualifications, experience, methodology, and capacity to execute the project. Specific pricing terms, contract duration, and funding sources are determined through the procurement process and documented in the associated RFR documentation. The project represents a strategic initiative to nearly tenfold early college enrollment over the next decade, requiring experienced consultants with expertise in secondary and higher education program development, regional expansion planning, and data-driven educational policy analysis.
