Promotional Examination Services of Law Enforcement Officers

The City of Houston, Texas, is seeking a qualified and experienced firm to facilitate and administer promotional processes for all supervisory ranks within its law enforcement agency. The agency needs to secure professional services to review and compile pertinent civil service rules, local, state, and federal statutes, and other legal mandates. Through this initiative, the agency aims to review current promotional procedures, formulate new administrative procedures, and develop and administer promotional assessments within agreed-upon timeframes. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to provide administrative personnel to administer each promotional exam and assessment center. The vendor must also provide training and orientation to agency personnel taking the examinations, including at least one in-person orientation per rank. To ensure legal compliance, the agency requires a quality promotional process that addresses affirmative action concerns and minimizes the potential for adverse impact per federal regulations. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. While the performance of the work will take place offsite, the agency expects the vendor to deliver the services under a one-year contract. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the cost. The agency has scheduled a pre-bid conference for June 23, 2026. This conference represents the primary key date for interested parties looking to clarify requirements before submitting their proposals.
