SUMMARY
The City of Norfolk, on behalf of a consortium including Norfolk Public Schools (NPS) and the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA), is soliciting proposals for medical plan administration services and pharmacy benefit management (PBM) services.
The procurement covers consortium employees, pre-65 retirees, and qualified dependents for a five-year term beginning January 1, 2028, through December 31, 2032, with one optional five-year renewal. The Consortium prefers a 'carved-in' bundled approach but will consider separate proposals for medical and pharmacy services if they provide better value. Proposals are sought for both self-insured and fully insured plans. Separate proposals must be submitted for each service area via OpenGov by August 14, 2026. A notice of interest is due by July 31, 2026.
