What does Council on Postsecondary Ed do?

The Council on Postsecondary Education is tasked with advancing Kentucky’s strategic goals for higher education access, equity, and student success. Its core mission centers on aligning institutional performance with state workforce and economic development priorities through data-driven policy coordination, program evaluation, and collaborative implementation. The agency prioritizes initiatives that improve retention, completion, and workforce alignment across public colleges and universities, often leveraging external expertise to design and execute complex, multi-institutional improvement frameworks. Key programs include statewide student success collaboratives, outcome-based funding models, and system-wide accountability structures requiring specialized consulting support to assess, redesign, and scale interventions. The agency’s procurement activity is heavily concentrated in administrative management and general management consulting services, reflecting its reliance on external advisors to support strategic planning, organizational change, and performance improvement initiatives. Contracts are typically awarded through competitive solicitations, often structured as time-and-materials or fixed-price engagements with defined deliverables tied to measurable outcomes.

The primary NAICS category targeted is 541611, indicating a consistent demand for high-level management consulting expertise to guide systemic reforms in postsecondary education governance.

Vendor relationships are likely project-based and outcome-focused, with an emphasis on consultants possessing deep experience in higher education policy, institutional effectiveness, and state-level education reform. The Council on Postsecondary Education operates as a state-level agency under the Kentucky government, with jurisdiction over all public postsecondary institutions across the Commonwealth.
