On-Call Executive Recruitment Services

The City of Newport Beach is inviting qualified proposers to submit bids for on-call executive recruitment services aimed at supporting the Human Resources Division in identifying and securing top-tier executive and senior management talent. The solicitation, identified as RFP 26-43, seeks to establish a contract term of up to five years, with the City retaining the flexibility to award multiple contracts if it aligns with its operational needs. Proposals must demonstrate the ability to deliver high-quality, responsive recruitment services tailored to the City’s leadership hiring requirements, though specific compensation and final contract terms remain subject to approval by the City or City Council. No bid bond is required, and the contract will be managed by the Finance Department. The solicitation was posted on June 15, 2026, with responses due by 8:00 PM Pacific Time on July 8, 2026. Interested parties should direct inquiries to Jennifer Anderson, the primary point of contact, via email at purchasing@newportbeachca.gov or by phone at 949-644-3080. The services are to be performed within the State of California, though no specific work location is designated. All proposals must be submitted through the City’s online vendor portal, and the City reserves the right to evaluate submissions based on qualifications, experience, and overall value, rather than price alone, aiming to select the most capable service provider to support its long-term leadership development goals.
