Management Consulting Services

The City of Phoenix, through the Finance Central Procurement office, is soliciting offers under RFQu-27-0477 to establish a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for Management Consulting Services. The agreement is intended to provide the City with as-needed expertise in change management, organizational studies or mapping, project management review, compliance, management strategies, and process analysis. The contract term is five years, beginning on March 1, 2027, or the effective date of final signature and recording, whichever is later, with no options for extension. Awards will be made to responsive and responsible offerors determined to be most advantageous to the City based on organizational qualifications, relevant project experience from the last three years, and personnel expertise. Offerors must have been in operation for at least three years and provide staff with a minimum of three years of specialized experience. Submissions must be made electronically via the City's Procurement Portal by November 6, 2026, and must include a qualifications narrative, a pricing proposal in the form of a rate sheet for fixed or hourly bill rates, and staff resumes. Mandatory signed documents, including certifications regarding debarment and conflict of interest, are required to avoid being deemed non-responsive. Selected consultants will be paid in arrears every other week, provided they have a current IRS W-9 on file and submit itemized receipts and approved timesheets. The City will not pay for overhead, benefits, or local travel, and final payment is issued within 60 days of the delivery of all final reports and materials.
