(RFP) 27-05, Employee Benefit Consulting/Broker Services

Henry County is soliciting proposals for RFP #27-05 to secure Employee Benefit Consulting and Broker Services. The selected strategic partner will provide comprehensive consulting for health and welfare programs, including medical, pharmacy, dental, vision, life, disability, and wellness benefits. The scope of work involves strategic financial consulting, advanced data analytics, clinical and population health support, pharmacy management, and executive-level reporting to assist with long-term healthcare strategy and financial forecasting. Proposals must be submitted via the County's eProcurement Portal or delivered to the Purchasing Department in McDonough, Georgia, no later than 3:00 PM on August 26, 2026. The selection process follows a Best Value trade-off method, prioritizing technical qualifications over cost. Evaluation factors are weighted equally across several key areas, including public sector expertise, strategic consulting capabilities, analytics, pharmacy consulting, and clinical expertise, with the cost proposal accounting for only a small portion of the total score. Proposers are required to submit two distinct volumes: a technical proposal containing executive summaries, qualifications, and experience, and a separate, sealed cost proposal. Compliance with Georgia state laws, including E-Verify requirements and drug-free workplace certifications, is mandatory. Successful vendors must also adhere to specific administrative requirements, such as providing a digital PDF copy on a USB flash drive and ensuring all physical submissions are manually signed and properly labeled.
