| Competitive Bid Process |
On April 12, 2017, Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) from qualified community based organizations to provide Transition Aged Youth Speakers Bureau & Peer and Family Led Support Services. HHSA received one proposal from this solicitation.
The Board of Supervisors recommended HHSA review the RFP process used in this solicitation. After review it was determined this RFP should be re-issued in an effort to ensure the RFP is fair, ethical and competitive, while also maintaining high quality services to Yolo County residents.
On July 24, 2017, HHSA re-issued an RFP desiring to attract qualified community based organizations to provide Transition Aged Youth Speakers Bureau & Peer and Family Led Support Services. This second RFP included a revised scope of work; a mandatory Bidder’s Conference; a cover letter with a summary of services, requirements, and timelines; and an option to either submit a proposal through the BidSync process or hand deliver a proposal to HHSA. A notice was also sent out to approximately 60 potential bidders who had previously viewed the original RFP issued on April 12, 2017.
HHSA received one proposal from this second solicitation. NAMI Yolo submitted a proposal for the Peer and Family Led Support Services portion of the RFP. There were no proposals submitted for the Transition Aged Youth Speakers Bureau portion. The proposal submitted by NAMI Yolo was evaluated by individuals not affiliated with Yolo County as well as staff from HHSA. This review process determined the proposal met all the required qualifications necessary to successfully provide these services.
