In-Person Soft Skills Training Seminars

The State of Florida, Department of Health (DOH) is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) to obtain competitive prices for in-person soft skills training seminars for DOH staff in Lee County. The requested training topics include customer service, problem-solving, communication, supervisory skills, and organizational skills. The DOH requires a minimum of 20 training sessions, each lasting 6-7 hours, to be delivered equally throughout the year. The sessions may cover multiple topics, but no more than one session should be held per day. The DOH will not require post-training tests or assessments, and staff attendance will vary based on skills analysis and individual development plans. The contract term is one year from July 1, 2024 or the contract execution date, with the possibility of up to three one-year renewals. Bids are due by March 18, 2024 at 2:30 PM, with the anticipated award posting on March 25, 2024. The DOH will make a single award to the responsive, responsible respondent offering the lowest total price for the requested commodities and services, including delivery.

The ITB does not identify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is an existing agreement in place for similar services, but the incumbent contractor is not specified. The DOH has indicated a budget range for this engagement, but the specific amount has not been provided.
