One Week: RFP on Restructuring State Government Due Next Friday.

Keep an eye on this. The period for submitting proposals to assist the Lamont administration in restructuring state government ends at 3 p.m. next Friday. The comprehensive invitation for proposals has received little attention.

Read it here. The request for proposals was prompted by the prospect of thousands of state employee retirements beginning in 2022. The successful bidder will work with the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) on finding opportunities for change how state government operates.

Prospective respondents to the RFP have not been given much time to prepare a bid. They might give themselves an advantage by slipping in a few paragraphs on how to address turmoil and lift morale at OPM.
