Systemwide Procurement announces the launch of 11 new systemwide strategic agreements with top-tier HR Consulting firms, marking a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to enhance the University of California's Human Resources operations landscape.
These HR Consulting agreements encompass six key areas including:
- Organizational Development
- Salary Administration
- Benefits Consulting
- Retirement and Actuarial Services
- Staff Learning
- Recruitment and Talent Development.
These competitively bid and carefully evaluated new agreements give stakeholders access to a vetted portfolio of suppliers at various price points, services, and formats to meet a broad range of campus stakeholder needs. This portfolio was hand-picked by HR leadership to ensure business continuity and the freedom of choice within departments and will save campuses time, money and effort in avoiding the need for additional RFPs or additional sole source contracting.
