About this file

This Addendum #1 document, issued by the Connecticut Office of Workforce Strategy (OWS) on October 20, 2026, provides critical modifications to RFP #27ECD2530b for the Connecticut Career Accelerator Program: Program Administration. The RFP seeks a Program Administrator to implement an outcomes-based-loan initiative supporting learners pursuing workforce credentials and training. Key amendments include: (1) extension of the deadline for establishing legal and logistical frameworks to onboard Selected Training Providers and engage participating employers from January 1, 2027 to July 1, 2027; (2) terminology corrections replacing "Fund Manager" with "Program Manager" in work plan deliverables; and (3) a requirement to use the revised Budget Template titled "Exhibit E, CT CAP RFP Budget Template REVISED." All bidders must sign and submit the signature page of this Addendum with their proposals. The original proposal deadline was November 23, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. EST, and all other requirements of the original RFP remain in effect except as specifically modified by this Addendum.

The program encompasses three priority career pathways, including licensed practical nursing (LPN) and paramedic training programs to launch in Year 1 subject to enrollment timing constraints. The contracted Program Manager will be responsible for program management, onboarding training providers, and coordinating with employers. Funding will be deployed to the Program Administrator on a drawdown schedule to be determined during contract negotiations. All vendors are eligible to respond, and no specific set-asides are indicated. Grace Suh, Chief of Staff at OWS (Grace.Suh@ct.gov; 917-226-1854), serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries regarding this solicitation.

ADDENDUM #1

October 20, 2026

All bidders must sign and submit Signature Page to Addendum with proposal

The Connecticut Office of Workforce Strategy is issuing Addendum #1 to RFP #27ECD2530b: Connecticut Career Accelerator Program: Program Administration. All requirements of the original Request for Proposal (RFP) except those requirements specifically changed by this Addendum shall remain in effect. In the event of any inconsistency between information provided in the RFP and information in this Addendum, the information in this Addendum shall prevail.

1. Language Changes

a. Under Section 8: Proposal Information, the first bullet under Work Plan in Section IV of the table (page

16) sets a deadline of January 1, 2027, which is amended to July 1, 2027: “Establishment of all legal and logistical frameworks required to onboard and engage with Selected Training Providers and participating employers by July 1, 2027, designed to be applied consistently across all three priority career pathways (Relevant to Program Management service area);”

b. Under Section 8: Proposal Information, the last bullet under Work Plan in Section IV of the table (page

16) refers to Fund Manager in two instances, which is amended to Program Manager in both instances:

“Launch of licensed practical nursing (LPN) and paramedic training career pathways in Year 1, to the extent enrollment dates for these programs allow. To support rapid onboarding of Selected Training Providers and launch of all three career pathways, indicative term sheets will have been provided to Selected Training Providers prior to the start of the contract period. Where a career pathway cannot be launched in Year 1, due to enrollment timing or other constraints outside of the Program Manager’s control, the Program Manager should provide an approach and indicative sequencing for its launch in Year 2. (Relevant to all service areas.)”

2. Revised Budget Template

a. OWS has updated and uploaded a revised Budget Template. This template is titled “Exhibit E, CT CAP RFP Budget Template REVISED”. This version must be used.
