Northern Illinois University is seeking to increase its existing online programs as well as develop new online programs. Vendor support is needed for market demand analysis, marketing, recruitment/lead generation, and concierge online student support services necessary to grow online enrollment. The University is requesting proposals from qualified vendors to provide distance/distributed/online learning services in an unbundled, fee-for-service model on an as-needed basis for an initial contract period not to exceed three (3) years based on satisfactory performance, continuing need, and availability of funds.
The online program support for prioritized programs will be the first awarded, with other academic programs to be awarded on an as-needed basis to develop and implement distance/distributed/online learning programs and certificates in various disciplines.
Successful vendor will be expected to assist the University in conducting market demand analysis, prioritizing, implementing, marketing, delivering, and/or growing online degree and certificate programs while utilizing the current on-campus infrastructure. Work is to begin as soon as possible, with the delivery of the first courses to begin in the Fall 2019 semester.
Successful vendor would be involved in the continued development of new programs and certificates beyond the Fall 2019 semester. The duration of contract for services may vary depending on the amount of time necessary to meet the University's enrollment goals.
