Independent Third-Party Contractor Services

The North Carolina government authority requires an USA-based vendor to provide offsite, independent third-party contractor services for a comprehensive study. The contractor will evaluate efficiency, administrative structure, and financial sustainability to identify opportunities for cost savings, administrative consolidation, and alternative management models. Specific duties include analyzing administrative overhead, personnel costs, operational expenditures, and systemic redundancies. Additionally, the contractor must assess the feasibility and impact of transitioning responsibilities to private entities, including eliminating local management entities/managed care organizations (LME/MCOs) in favor of private performance. The vendor will examine the logistics, ongoing savings, short- and long-term opportunities, and roadblocks of selling or leasing State-operated healthcare facilities to entities that will continue providing the same services. Finally, the vendor will deliver implementation recommendations and create a detailed, actionable transition timeline with stages, milestones, dependencies, and critical path considerations. Vendors seeking proposals must submit all questions by September 01, 2026.
