Description
Delaware County’s Department of Social Services and Community Supports is seeking an academic‑research or consulting organization to design and execute a comprehensive impact evaluation of its county‑funded, non‑residential youth‑prevention, diversion, and intervention services. The evaluation must assess effectiveness, define outcomes and KPIs, develop a sustainable performance‑based contracting framework, create provider handbooks, and establish ongoing data‑monitoring protocols. The scope includes conducting 15‑20 provider interviews, analyzing existing data sources (e.g., National Assessment Center, Empact Solutions), and delivering both technical and cost proposals via PennBid by the specified deadline. The County will provide data assistance, coordinate interviews, and expects a full, redacted and non‑redacted submission set, along with required political‑contribution disclosures.
• Conduct a full‑scale impact evaluation of juvenile‑detention and rehabilitative services, including stakeholder interviews and data analysis.
• Develop key performance indicators, a performance‑based contract template, and ongoing monitoring protocols.
• Produce a “what‑to‑expect” handbook for providers and internal guidance for the County.
• Submit technical, cost, and transmittal documents electronically via PennBid, with both original and redacted copies.
• Comply with extensive Pennsylvania statutory requirements (HIPAA, insurance, audit, political‑contribution disclosures, etc.).
