Pursuant to Chapter 39.29 of the Revised Code of Washington, the WSIB issues this RFP to create a pre-qualified Pool of firms (Contractor(s)) to provide governance, risk, and/or compliance consulting on an as-needed project basis. These services will provide the WSIB with timely access to governance, risk, and/or compliance consultant expertise on a diverse range of possible issues. The role of the Contractors will be to cooperatively assist the Board and WSIB staff, , in consulting and technical guidance on a wide array of topics, and, in doing so, provide the WSIB with independent, clear, unbiased, and unconflicted advice. No single Offeror is required to be qualified in all governance, risk, and compliance subject areas, but should be well qualified in at least one of those areas through support of public or private organizations or entities similar to the WSIB in purpose and scope or partnership with other well-qualified firms. The WSIB intends to enter into Contracts with one or more Offerors for an initial 5-year term with an option to extend the contracts for an additional 5-year term under the same terms and conditions. All Contracts awarded through this RFP shall be subject to termination by the WSIB earlier than the stated end-of-term date.
