What we'd like to talk about
I'd like strategic advice on developing an RFP for evaluation services that attracts a wide range of quality proposals, without being overly prescriptive in terms of methods, etc.
Additional context
I work for a nonprofit workforce development organization, and I've got over $75,000 to spend on program evaluation (specific program, early childhood education sector if that matters). For that amount of money, I want to make sure I'm getting thoughtful submissions that, hopefully, propose some innovative approaches. General RFP development I can do, but I'm not an evaluator myself and I want to make sure I'm not being overly prescriptive in what I ask for, without being too vague on the other hand. Input from someone with some content area expertise would be really helpful. Thanks!

Our mission
"The District 1199C Training & Upgrading Fund provides access to careers in healthcare and human services through education and training; and support employers to cultivate a diverse workforce and highly-skilled community."
The Training Fund's mission is: (1) providing access to career pathways in healthcare and human services for incumbent workers and job seekers through education, training and work-based learning; and, (2) building the capacity of the Delaware Valley's healthcare industry to create a highly-skilled workforce through on-the-job training opportunities and the development of an education pipeline that aligns with career ladder steps.
What we do
Created in 1974 by collective bargaining agreements between District 1199C of the National Union of Hospital & Health Care Employees (NUHHCE) and 11 Philadelphia hospitals, the District 1199C Training & Upgrading Fund has grown to include more than 50 acute care hospitals, long term care and behavioral health facilities, and homecare agencies. A uniquely designed labor management partnership, the Training Fund broke new ground at its founding with a commitment to serve both union members and the community - a commitment it has honored and grown over the last four decades, serving more than 100,000 Delaware Valley students.
Today, the Training Fund serves over 4,000 students annually at the 35,000-square foot Breslin Learning Center in Center City Philadelphia. The Training Fund's student-centered approach to education and training incorporates individualized career coaching and case management to help individuals obtain the educational credentials and professional certifications they will need to achieve their academic and career goals. Uniquely, all Fund training programs are designed on an integrated educational model that advances students towards their academic and career goals simultaneously, incorporating contextualized workforce preparation into academic courses and literacy supports into occupational courses.
