This addendum document pertains to the Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) for Workforce Leadership Development and Behavioral Outcomes Training services across six state regions. The RFP seeks qualified vendors to conduct a comprehensive Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis, develop an Annual Training Plan, and deliver targeted leadership development training for Program Administrators, Operations Managers, Family Navigators, and other leadership personnel. Key deliverables include Initial and Annual Training Plans, Workforce Leadership Training delivery across up to six training sessions per region annually, Quarterly Reports, and Annual Coaching and Consultation Reports. Training delivery will utilize in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats with focus on leadership skills, emotional intelligence, communication, and organizational culture transformation. The original proposal deadline was September 4, 2025, with a contract commencement date of November 1, 2025, and an initial three-year term. Multiple addenda have extended the timeline, with Addendum No. 04 posted on September 23, 2025, followed by subsequent addenda through March 27, 2026 (Addendum No. 09).

The contract will be structured as a cost-reimbursable agreement with providers compensated based on actual verified training delivery costs. Evaluation criteria allocate up to 784 points for programmatic elements and 200 points for financial considerations, with providers required to ensure 85% knowledge increase in post-training assessments and 80% attendee satisfaction. Financial penalties of $100 daily apply for late report submissions or missed deliverable deadlines. The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, and the contract applies statewide across all six DCF regions. Specific budget ranges are not definitively stated, with amounts to be determined for each fiscal year under a flexible pricing structure. Addendum No. 05 (September 29, 2025) provided Department answers to vendor questions and updated the Standard Contract Part 2 and Cost Proposal documentation.
