Current Vendor Selection Opportunities in Human Services and Public Health Department

Potential providers of services are sometimes best identified with a vendor selection process.  

The process begins with the publication of a document by HSPHD specifying the types of services and conditions under which Hennepin County wishes to contract. It calls for letters of interest/proposals for service delivery, which may result in a selection of a single or multiple providers, depending on the County’s needs. HSPHD will publish these documents for public viewing on this web site. Please be advised to consult this web site for opportunities.

The Contracting Process

After a provider is selected for a contract via a vendor selection process, they will be required to complete further detailed information, which will facilitate the Department's actions to initiate the contract through the Contract Management Area.

HSPHD will use this information to work with the Contract Management Area as part of the internal contract initiation and completion process.

Timelines will be based upon coordination between the provider and Hennepin County staff regarding contracting requirements completion. If awarded a contract, the provider is responsible to deliver the product or service as required. No product or service should be delivered before the contract is signed by the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners.
