This publication, fueled by the National Association of Counties (NACo), highlights single-award contract opportunities, upcoming webinars, articles of
interest and other tools for county leaders and procurement professionals.
1. Time & Cost Savings in Practice
- Satisfy the RFP process: Drafting, advertising, evaluating, and negotiating a new solicitation can take months. Using this cooperative contract, a county’s procurement team can issue a purchase order and launch a search in days with the full confidence that all federal, state, and local competitive bidding requirements have been met.
- Flat, transparent pricing: WBCP’s proposal features a fixed-fee structure (typically $24.9k–$28.9k per executive recruitment) billed in thirds—opening, shortlist, and background/reference stages—so departments can budget with confidence .
- No hourly caps: WBCP works until the hire is made, backed by a 12–24-month placement guarantee, reducing risk of a costly re-recruitment .
- Built-in best practices: WBCP handles advertising, head-hunting, screening, stakeholder interviews, scheduling, and background checks, providing bi-weekly progress reports so HR staff stay informed without drowning in logistics.
2. Supporting Employee Well-Being and Service Continuity
- Lighter workloads on existing staff helping departments reduce burnout during Mental Health Awareness Month and beyond.
- Quicker onboarding of specialized skills, whether that’s behavioral-health clinicians, cybersecurity analysts, or civil-engineering leaders, allowing counties to keep pace with community needs.
- Stronger succession planning. With multi-year renewal options through 2029, HR teams can map leadership transitions rather than scrambling after departures.
3. How to Use the Contract
- Register with NACo’s Public Promise Procurement (PPP) portal.
- Reference contract #571947 in your purchase order or interlocal agreement.
- Engage WBCP, Inc. directly to scope the recruitment; their national account manager coordinates all deliverables. Because the contract is already competitively bid, procurement compliance is baked in—freeing you to focus on selecting the right candidate, not managing paperwork.
4. Moving Forward
The future of county work will reward governments that can recruit swiftly, hire confidently, and support employee well-being. The NACo Public Promise × WBCP contract offers procurement teams a proven, cooperative path to do exactly that—no fresh RFP required. As we celebrate our county workforce this spring, there’s no better time to equip HR and procurement leaders with tools that keep vital positions filled and public services running strong.
