Organization overview and procurement intelligence available on paid plans.
DESCRIPTION
The city of Illinois is seeking a vendor to provide strategic planning services. The selected vendor will collaborate with senior city leadership to initiate the project, defining roles, responsibilities, project timeline, communication protocols, and desired outcomes. A comprehensive project plan will be developed, detailing the key phases, milestones, and deliverables for the strategic planning process.
Engagement with city leadership is required to assess current operations, organizational culture, structure, and service delivery effectiveness. The vendor will also review existing departmental and divisional goals to determine their alignment or potential integration into a new strategic direction. An actionable implementation plan must be created, assigning responsible parties and establishing performance management structures to ensure compliance, adherence to timelines, and effective resource allocation.
A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for March 10, 2026, and all questions regarding the RFP must be submitted by March 13, 2026.
