The goal of the Request for Information (RFI) is to obtain information regarding potential solutions for a browser-based contract management system (CMS) to serve as a central document repository for contractual agreements and to streamline the contract management process through the incorporation of automated workflow, templates, notifications and electronic signatures. A primary goal of this RFI is to identify potential solutions which may allow Department staff with appropriate access to be able to easily find and view critical contract data, research historical contract record data, produce individual and summary reports, and be more efficient in the full life cycle management of contractual agreements. It is anticipated that several existing legacy systems will be replaced and that interfaces to remaining systems, both internal and external, will be implemented.

Any CMS to be considered will need to include the ability to: process all elements of contract request, development, approval and tracking; maintain historical and current contractual agreements; define and modify workflows to send email notifications with a link for viewing, editing, and approval processing; define and modify user-defined fields; and include built-in and custom reporting capabilities. The CMS desired should provide document security and allow for version control of contracts and amendments.

The RFI intends to gather information related to vendor CMS solutions available in the current market, either on-premise commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions or cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.

The Department prefers procuring a vendor solution that can be configured and customized as needed to meet business requirements while avoiding code customizations that would restrict or impact supportability and future upgrades.

See the attached RFI document for details on responses desired and for the Business Requirements for specific instructions on content and format of responses.
