Affiliation Agreement and Clinical Placement Management for School of Nursing RFP

The University of Michigan School of Nursing is soliciting proposals under RFP-0012408-TECH-2026 for a centralized, scalable system to manage affiliation agreements and serve as the system of record for clinical placements. The platform will initially support approximately 400 graduate-level nurse practitioner students annually, with the potential to expand to 875 undergraduate students. The primary objective is to replace manual, fragmented processes with an automated solution that integrates with existing technology, specifically requiring secure API exchanges with Typhoon, Complio, a custom ESR, and institutional SSO and email systems. The project includes critical deliverables such as data migration from existing spreadsheets and the provision of comprehensive training and support. The resulting contract is envisioned as a three-year agreement with two optional one-year extensions. Proposals will be evaluated based on the supplier's executive summary, the comprehensiveness of the proposed solution, project staffing expertise, and pricing competitiveness. All digital deliverables must comply with ADA, Section 508, and WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. Payment will be made immediately upon invoice approval for suppliers enrolled in an accepted virtual card program. Interested vendors must submit their proposals, including a detailed pricing spreadsheet and a combined PDF of supporting documentation, by October 12, 2026.
