Community Engagement & Stakeholder Outreach Services

The contract seeks to facilitate trauma-informed and equity-centered community engagement efforts aimed at informing the redesign of Sexual and Domestic Violence Core Services. Activities will include conducting focus groups, surveys, and listening sessions with survivors, BIPOC communities, youth, and service providers to ensure meaningful input from those most affected by systemic gaps in care. The approach emphasizes centering lived experience, prioritizing cultural humility, and building trust with historically marginalized populations to shape more effective, responsive, and inclusive services. The work is to be performed in Boston, Massachusetts, with a strict submission deadline of August 21, 2026, and is structured as a subcontract under the Bureau of Community Health and Prevention. The NAICS code 541611 indicates the scope aligns with management consulting services, suggesting the contractor will provide strategic outreach and engagement expertise rather than direct service delivery. The goal is to gather authentic, actionable feedback that directly influences policy and program redesign, ensuring the resulting services reflect the needs and voices of those they are intended to serve.
