Pender County (hereinafter referred to as “County”) is requesting proposals and statement of qualifications from qualified consulting/broker firms (hereinafter referred to as “Consultant”) to provide benefit consulting to include assistance with benefit design, bidding and evaluation, contract negotiation, on-going evaluation, plan modification and other services required to obtain and maintain a competitive benefits program.

The County seeks a benefit plan that can be adjusted annually based on experience as well as one that can easily adapt to changes in market conditions and regulations.  Currently the County is a member of the State Health Plan (SHP), which presently is partnered with BCBS of NC but as you probably already know will partner with Aetna in 2025.  We are unsure how this will affect our employee health insurance in the future and if there will be an opportunity to research other options or remain with the SHP.  Therefore, the County is interested in a firm with a demonstrated record of taking a creative, innovative approach to maneuver through the rising costs of healthcare and employee benefits, while maintaining fiscal responsibility and providing an unbiased perspective to the process.

All prospective Consultants will be afforded full opportunity to submit a proposal and statements of qualifications in response to this request.  This Request for Proposal (RFP) is an invitation by the County for consultants to submit an offer, which may be subject to subsequent discussion. Submittal of proposal does not create any right in or expectation to a contract with the County.
