This is an amendment to a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Tennessee Department of Human Resources, Office of Organizational Agility, for partnerships with established organizations or universities to develop and deliver a supervisor-focused leadership program. The RFI seeks a contractor based in Middle Tennessee to serve as a long-term development partner for Tennessee State Government. The scope requires designing and delivering a transformational supervisory program addressing foundational and advanced supervisory skills, with the program capable of being offered at least twice annually over a duration of three to six months. Amendment #1 updates the RFI schedule of events, with the original response deadline of August 18, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Central Time extended to September 11, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. The State will respond to written questions and comments by August 28, 2026, with final State responses expected no later than September 30, 2026. Responses should be submitted to Cherie L. Graves, Contract Manager, at DOHR.Contracts@tn.gov or by mail to the Department of Human Resources, Tennessee Tower, 17th Floor, 312 Rosa L. Parks Avenue, Nashville, TN 37243.

Respondents must demonstrate relevant experience in supervisor and leadership development programs, including public-sector and state-government experience, organizational capacity to support enterprise-wide programming, adequate facilities and delivery capabilities, and a documented evaluation and measurement methodology. Responses must include organizational qualifications, program approach philosophy, typical pricing units and price ranges for similar services, sample agendas, curriculum outlines, participant materials, learning activities, evaluation tools, and marketing materials. Three professional references for similar work completed within the last five years are required. The State specifically seeks input on alternative approaches and additional considerations that might benefit the program. Responding to this RFI does not guarantee contract rights or prerequisite status for future solicitations, and the State will not reimburse response costs.
