Hello,
I am pleased to announce the release of a Request for Proposals to support the County’s next Community Health Assessment (CHA). The CHA process will last roughly 2.5 years and will result in an actionable Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) that will launch in 2029. The Health Department is seeking three contracting organizations who are trusted messengers in our community. Contractors will join and co-lead subcommittees to design the assessment alongside Health staff, as well as conducting direct outreach activities. We aim to create a broad-based, equitable, and community-engaged process with results that paint an accurate and important picture of the health of the San Mateo County community.
Each contractor will be awarded up to $85,000 for the life of the grant (total, not per year).
Because we want to launch the CHA work soon, but do not want to do so without contractors on board, we have a fairly short timeline for the RFP:
- RFP release date: June 26, 2026
- Deadline for questions, comments, and contract exceptions: July 13, 2026
- Proposal due date and time: July 24, 2026 12:00AM
- Tentative Interviews: August 10, 2026
- Anticipated Contract Award Date: August 31, 2026
