Afterschool and Summer Programs Services

The Richland County School District One in Columbia, South Carolina is seeking a vendor to provide afterschool and as-needed summer enrichment programs for its students. The agency requires these programs to be entirely self-sustaining through parent-paid fees while also generating a commission for the participating schools. Through this partnership, the agency aims to establish a safe, welcoming, and supervised environment that supports academic achievement and homework assistance. The scope of work covers the delivery of engaging enrichment activities that promote creativity, physical fitness, hands-on learning, student choice, and autonomy. The selected provider must foster opportunities for students to achieve mastery in various areas and help them establish healthy peer and adult relationships. All program operations will take place offsite from the vendor's perspective, though they must serve the agency's student population. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency will award a contract for a performance period of one year. While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the financial terms, the programs must adhere to the self-sustaining, commission-generating model. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 22, 2026. The agency will accept proposal responses submitted digitally via email or through their online portal. The evaluation criteria will focus on the vendor's ability to meet the program requirements and financial structures outlined in the solicitation.
