23EHSKALEADERSHIPSTAFFRFR2: RFR for Departmental Master Agreements for Leadership Staffing Services

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) is issuing a Request for Responses (RFR) to establish a Departmental Master Agreement (MA) for Leadership Staffing Services. The MA will consist of pre-qualified vendors available to provide two categories of services: 1) Leadership Search Services to assist EOHHS in finding candidates for senior, executive, managerial, or other specialized leadership positions, and 2) Interim Leadership Placements to provide qualified individuals to fill open leadership positions on a temporary basis. The RFR specifies vendor qualifications, service requirements, pricing, and contracting details. Contracts resulting from this RFR will expire on December 31, 2025, with the potential for up to three one-year extensions. The RFR sets maximum daily and placement rates for the two service categories and requires bidders to make a financial commitment to partnering with diverse businesses certified by the Supplier Diversity Office.

The RFR is limited to use by EOHHS and its constituent agencies, including the MassHealth program and the Chelsea and Holyoke Soldiers' Homes. EOHHS will monitor vendors' compliance with their Supplier Diversity Program commitments. While the projected number of temporary/interim leadership assignments is expected to vary, EOHHS is open to working with multiple vendors to meet their needs and will evaluate proposals based on the vendors' ability to provide qualified candidates. The anticipated award value or budget range is not provided in the available information.
