The RFP evaluation criteria allocates up to 784 points for programmatic elements and 200 points for financial considerations, with providers required to demonstrate the ability to ensure 85% knowledge increase in post-training assessments and 80% attendee satisfaction. The procurement applies statewide across all six DCF regions and will prioritize vendors with extensive experience in leadership development and behavioral outcomes training.
