DescriptionA - Latest Addendum

Request for Proposal is to solicit competitive proposals from vendors to provide real-time online homework and tutoring assistance services for students in grades K-12.

The Pacific Library Partnership (PLP) is issuing this RFP in partnership with the California State Library to provide a two-year real-time online tutoring service program for students in grades K-12 through California’s local libraries. The purpose of the project is to provide academic support for California students through their local public libraries, at no cost to the students or their families. The tutoring service should be available at public libraries at the start of the 2022/23 school year.

It is recognized that many public libraries within California already subscribe to an online homework and tutoring assistance service. As a result of this RFP process, possible outcomes may be that one Vendor will be selected for a statewide contract for all public libraries, or that more than one Vendor may be selected for a statewide contract, where public libraries may choose which vendor they prefer for online homework and tutoring assistance services.

The Pacific Library Partnership (PLP) is a cooperative library system that includes the eight counties in the San Francisco Bay Area. Information about PLP is available at http://www.plpinfo.org/.

The Statewide Online Tutoring Project is a project of the Pacific Library Partnership in partnership with the California State Library.
