Leadership Learning Pathways Consultant Service

The Jacksonville Public Library in Jacksonville, Florida, requires a consultant to establish a formal leadership and management development program. The library currently lacks a structured framework for leadership training, which has resulted in inconsistent expectations and performance among supervisory staff. To resolve this issue, the agency is seeking a partner to design high-quality, accessible training pathways that enhance the knowledge, skills, and behaviors of library supervisors. The scope of work requires the selected consultant to conduct a comprehensive needs assessment and interview both internal and external stakeholders. The consultant must identify gaps between current training offerings and the library's defined leadership competencies, utilizing specialized needs assessment tools to pinpoint specific skill deficiencies. Following this analysis, the provider must create tailored learning paths, pilot the proposed learning improvements, and establish a system to evaluate the overall program. Eligible bidders must be organizations based in the United States. The agency allows the performance of the contract work to take place either onsite in Jacksonville or offsite. The buyer is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a pre-set funding limit. The contract period will span one year from the date of award. The agency will host a pre-proposal meeting on June 8, 2026, to discuss the project requirements with interested parties. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 15, 2026.
