North Carolina's Dept. of Health and Human Services has issued a strategic communications RFP to help it cope with the post COVID-19 era.
During the pandemic, the Dept. was able to connect with historically marginalized people though community leaders and well-designed communications, according to the document.
As the effects of the pandemic linger, a much larger number of adults and children are reporting anxiety. Substance abuse and deaths from misuse are on the rise.
“Our communications needs are broader, and bringing equity requires additional effort that the office of communications has not previously provided. In order to continue reaching historically marginalized populations, and to support extension of services into underserved areas, the office of communications requires additional, dedicated support," says the RFP.
The Dept. plans to issue a one-year contract.
Proposals are due May 8. Interested firms must register at NC’s electronic portal.
