The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is soliciting sealed proposals under RFP 720-5284-127297 to engage a contractor for comprehensive workplace culture and operational assessments. The primary focus of these assessments is Central State Hospital and Western State Hospital, with the possibility of additional facilities throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. The selected contractor will be responsible for delivering a written assessment report detailing methodology and root cause analysis, a collaborative written intervention plan featuring goals and training materials, and a maintained project schedule. DBHDS prefers a six-month schedule for the hospital assessments and requests that any proposed project management or analytics platforms be web-based and non-cloud hosted. Proposals must be submitted electronically via eVA by October 21, 2026, at 10:00 AM local time. Submission requirements include a signed original PDF proposal, a redacted PDF copy, and a redlined version of the RFP in Microsoft Word.

Offerors must provide detailed company background, staff resumes, audited financial statements, and a list of clients lost within the last three years. The contract is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and requires strict adherence to confidentiality and PII safeguarding standards, as all contractor staff will work on-site.
