South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice (SCDJJ), in accordance with Section 11-35-1560 of the South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code, is announcing that it intends to award, without competition, a contract for employment hiring and recruitment services to Warren Averett LLC. These services will include: recruitment, support, analysis of hiring practices, executive coaching, and development of a hiring strategic plan. Due to a highly excessive amount of unfilled positions, SCDJJ originally engaged this vendor under an emergency procurement in December of 2021. The agency still has a vital need for these services and cannot afford to spend time brining in another vendor with a different approach to the issue. The vendor is being allowed to finish their ongoing hiring and recruitment project to improve these processes at SCDJJ. 

If you are aggrieved by this intended award or have information contrary or pertaining to the above, please contact Travis Guess by email only at travisguess@djj.sc.gov prior to 07/04/2022 5PM.  

You have a right to protest according to Section 11-35-4210 of the South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code.
