BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The Economic Services Division is seeking consultation for a divisional realignment and process change project with the Change and Innovation Agency. Additionally, this vendor will work with the division’s team members at all organizational levels to create a sustainable model that allows ample time for eligibility workers to spend the time they need to produce high-quality cases, while significantly improving time to disposition. Doing so will assist in meeting divisional performance measures required as part of the MOU with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services for Food and Nutrition Services and Medicaid application and reapplication timeliness. A contract will not be in place by the end of the fiscal year and the funds specified for the project will need to be carried forward in order to procure the contract when it is executed.
