Request for Proposals for Consultant to Conduct a Feasibility Study and Propose

The Connecticut Department of Administrative Services is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a feasibility study and develop a comprehensive plan to address challenges related to the availability of nonprofit liability insurance in the state. This initiative aims to identify barriers, assess potential solutions, and recommend actionable strategies to improve access to affordable and sustainable liability coverage for nonprofit organizations operating in Connecticut. The consultant will be expected to analyze market conditions, engage with key stakeholders including nonprofits, insurers, and state agencies, and deliver a detailed report outlining viable pathways to mitigate current gaps in insurance availability. Proposals must be submitted by August 22, 2026, with the solicitation issued on July 31, 2026, under reference number 1519. Responses should be directed to George Bradner, the primary contact, via email at george.bradner@ct.gov. The work will be performed entirely within Connecticut, and while no specific set-aside or NAICS code is designated, interested parties are expected to demonstrate relevant experience in insurance market analysis, public policy research, or nonprofit sector consulting. All submissions and inquiries should be made through the official CTSource Bid Board portal, and proposals must clearly outline methodology, timeline, team qualifications, and budget to be considered for award.
