HR Management Assessment and Related Services

The City of Minneapolis, Minnesota is seeking a vendor to administer and deliver comprehensive human resource management assessment services for executive, management, and leadership positions. The agency needs to evaluate candidates in relation to the specific positions being filled, requiring a flexible assessment battery that can range from a half-day assessment for entry-level managers to a full-day assessment for department heads. The selected vendor must provide these services offsite using their own equipment, including computers, photocopy machines, and audiovisual tools. The scope of work requires the development of a process to assess candidates and the creation of detailed management assessment reports. These reports must outline candidate strengths, weaknesses, suitability for the position, overall readiness, developmental areas, and alignment with leadership competencies. The agency also requires the vendor to provide remote access to these assessment tools and reports through a secure, password-protected website, as well as follow-up feedback services to help candidates understand their results. Bidders must be located onshore within the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the described assessment process, the timeliness of service delivery, adherence to an agreed-upon price structure, and the ability to produce quality reports and feedback for appointing authorities such as elected officials and department heads. The contract period will span three years, and the agency is currently looking for budget proposals. The agency has scheduled a pre-bid meeting for June 15, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 16, 2026.
