RQ #7107 FORMAL RFP Financial and Foreclosure

This RFP solicits a qualified, Cuyahoga County‑certified small‑business vendor to provide financial counseling and foreclosure‑prevention services to county residents. The scope is limited to counseling—no construction, IT, or equipment procurement—and requires the vendor to have received the full RFP packet directly from the County (“Plan Holder of Record”). The solicitation was publicly posted on August 10 2021, with a pre‑proposal conference on August 17 2021, and a firm deadline of September 9 2021 for both hard‑copy and electronic submissions. The County imposes a total small‑business set‑aside, meaning only SBE‑certified firms may compete. No budget or contract value is disclosed in the public notice; interested firms must request the full specifications to develop pricing. • Eligibility restricted to Cuyahoga County Small‑Business Enterprise (SBE) certified firms. • Submission allowed via hard‑copy to the County Purchasing Office or electronically through the Supplier Portal, both due at 11:00 a.m. on September 9 2021. • Only vendors that are “Plan Holders of Record” (i.e., have received the full RFP packet) will be considered responsive.
