Administrative Services: National Certified Public Manager Consortium

Request for Proposals
For Administrative Services for The National Certified Public Manager® (CPM) Consortium

The National Certified Public Manager® (CPM) Consortium requests proposals for administrative
services in support of the Consortium.

Proposals will be accepted from individuals or from organizations. However, organizations
must designate an individual who will be the primary point of contact through the duration of the
contract for Consortium administrative services and substantiate his/her experience and ability
to perform the work.

Duties and Responsibilities are described in the attached Job Description. Also attached are
the Selection Criteria that will be used.

The Job Description outlines the Consortium’s basic requirements. However, there are
additional services that we would like to have (e.g., development of a national database of CPM
graduates, creation of a continuing education program, help with growth of the Consortium.) If
an individual or organization would like to offer additional services, those can be included in the
RFP response and may be used in the selection process.

Proposals must address the selection criteria and show evidence of capacity and experience
that will meet the needs of the Consortium as outlined in the Duties and Responsibilities.
Proposals are due by midnight on November 15.

An important consideration for selecting a proposal is cost. The most recent contract
rate was for an annual amount of $18,640.
Final selection of an administrator will be approved by the Consortium Board of
Directors.

Proposals can be emailed or mailed to the Chair of the Search Committee,
Mary R. Hamilton, at one of the following addresses:
