Online Tutoring Services, Solicitation No. 24-104

The North Clackamas School District 12 in Clackamas County, Oregon, is conducting a Request for Proposals (RFP) for online tutoring services (Solicitation No. 24-104) targeting students in grades 6-12 district-wide. The procurement seeks a comprehensive tutoring provider capable of delivering unlimited, one-on-one online tutoring services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with the potential to serve approximately 9,500 students. Required deliverables include chat-based tutoring, 48-hour turnaround on writing submissions, and tutoring aligned with district course offerings including International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP) curricula. Proposal evaluation will be based on project understanding, proposer experience, project team qualifications, and cost considerations. The RFP was issued on January 17, 2024, with proposals due by January 31, 2024, at 3:00 PM PST, and the initial contract term anticipated through the end of the 2023-2024 school year with potential annual renewals for up to five years total.

The solicitation includes provisions for small, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned business participation, demonstrating a commitment to diverse vendor engagement. Technology integration requirements include compatibility with Classlink and Google Classroom systems, with specific emphasis on tutor screening and background check processes. The district will require proposers to provide pricing for grades 6-8 and 9-12 separately, with optional pricing for K-5 tutoring, high-dosage tutoring, and impact studies. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the scale of potential service (up to 9,500 students) suggests a significant contract opportunity. The intent to award has been made to TPR Education, LLC (Tutor.com and The Princeton Review), pending successful contract negotiations. Proposers are permitted to submit their own contract terms, and the district remains open to discussing modifications during the negotiation phase. Additional preference will be given to providers offering tutoring services in multiple languages beyond the most commonly spoken languages.
