RFQ-26-00418 Eval Committee Meeting for Fiscal Year 2027 Cold Weather Shelter Partnerships-10.20.26

Hillsborough County evaluation committee meeting, October 20, 2026, reviewed responses to RFQ-26-00418 for Fiscal Year 2027 Cold Weather Shelter Partnerships. The county had received eight applications. The committee reached consensus that all eight proposers—Amazing Love Ministries, Church of God of Prophecy Tampa High Park, Greater New Hope Anointed Ministries, High Park United Methodist Church, Metropolitan Ministries, Tampa Bay Mission of Hope, the Portico campus of High Park United Methodist Church, and UMC of Sun City Center—passed the evaluation criteria and received an overall pass. Criteria included understanding the solicitation, providing shelter in Hillsborough County, eligibility, and required plans or operating licenses; required annual inspections were noted as occurring after award/authorization.

This was an evaluation determination, not a contract award. No spending amounts, vendor selections for award, or procurement-related motions were reported. Proposers were directed to monitor the county’s procurement platform for future updates.
