How Requests for Information Can Improve Government Human Services Contracting
About
In partnership with Project Evident, Results for America unveiled a new tool - An RFI Guide: How Requests for Information Can Improve Government Human Services Contracting - which shows how policymakers from Colorado to Rhode Island to South Carolina to New York City are creating stronger, results-focused partnerships that produce meaningful and sustainable outcomes for communities in need.
Requests for Information (RFIs) allow government, community stakeholders, and human services providers the opportunity to identify relevant community challenges, co-create strategies to solve those challenges, and design the best procurement structures to achieve the desired outcomes. An RFI is an important step in creating the type of open and inclusive collaboration needed between government and human services providers to support better social service delivery across the United States. Ultimately, improving outcomes for communities in need requires that both government and human services providers commit to improving the government procurement status quo
The guide offers resources to help governments, nonprofits, and residents identify key challenges, co-create strategies to solve them, and measure progress toward shared goals.
