The Investment Board seeks to contract with one or more firms to provide private equity consulting services and private equity back office accounting and support. It is the intent of the Board to execute two contracts as a result of this RFP, one for private equity consultancy services and one for the back office services. Two separate contracts will be executed even though a single service provider might be selected for both categories of service. Of primary interest to the Board are services from vendors with leading positions in the industry; thus, the Board will consider responses from firms exclusively providing private equity consulting services, as well as responses from firms exclusively providing private equity back office and reporting services.
