Crisis and Behavior Management Training Services

The Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County (ELCHC) in Florida is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to identify and contract with an organization or independent contractor to provide professional crisis management training services and behavior management training. The services should include prevention, de-escalation, and crisis intervention techniques, and be delivered to both ELCHC staff and early childcare providers in Hillsborough County. The ELCHC aims to train 15 staff members in crisis management instructor certification, up to 10 staff members in behavior management instructor certification, and up to 90 early childcare teachers/providers in basic crisis management certification. The services can be provided in person, online, or a combination of both. Proposals are due by November 20, 2023, and a decision is expected in December 2023. The RFP outlines the required qualifications, including legal/liability protection, access to behavior analysis/crisis management consultation, and the ability to provide bilingual instructional materials. Proposals will be evaluated based on the bidder's ability to meet the scope of services, client reviews, response time, cost/value, and whether the bidder is a certified minority-owned business.

The contract will be funded 100% from federal funds and will cover the period from December 2023 to June 2024. The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and it does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFP also does not provide any information about the possible award value or budget range.
