TRE OEE Negotiations Training RFQ

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of the State Treasurer and Receiver General (Treasury) through its Office of Economic Empowerment (OEE) is seeking an organization to provide virtual, hybrid, and/or in-person negotiation trainings for Massachusetts residents. The trainings should cover topics such as salary negotiation, negotiating household tasks and responsibilities, and negotiating lease agreements, and be 1 to 1.5 hours long, requiring a trained facilitator. The selected vendor must be able to offer trainings across the state, provide information and resources in languages other than English (with a strong preference for Spanish), and have staff trained in facilitating discussions with marginalized communities. Proposals will be evaluated based on the vendor's ability to provide the requested services and on "Best Value," which considers factors other than price, such as expertise, quality, and experience. The overall costs for this programming cannot exceed $10,000 annually, and the Treasury intends to continue working with the selected partner for up to 4 years. Proposals are due by April 12, 2023.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The document also does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not provide a specific award value or budget range, only stating that the overall costs cannot exceed $10,000 annually.
