Integrated Enterprise Reporting and Information Management Platform

Lander University is soliciting proposals under RFP-SP-585-10-22-2026 for a commercial off-the-shelf, fully vendor-hosted cloud-based SaaS enterprise reporting and analytics platform. The objective is to implement a secure and scalable solution to enhance data-driven decision-making across executive and academic operations, enrollment management, student housing, compliance, and accreditation. Key technical requirements include the ability to perform direct operational reporting against the Banner ERP environment without a separate data warehouse, the creation of drag-and-drop dashboards, scheduled report delivery, and the automation of IPEDS exports. The selected contractor will be responsible for all labor, software licensing, implementation, training, and ongoing maintenance. The anticipated contract period runs from November 5, 2026, to November 4, 2031, consisting of an initial implementation phase, a three-year base term, and two optional one-year renewal periods. Proposals are due by October 22, 2026, at 3:00 pm EST and must be submitted in sealed packages containing separate technical and business volumes. Evaluation follows a two-phase process: a written proposal evaluation worth 90 points and a demonstration phase worth 18 points for top-scoring offerors. The university requires strict adherence to state data governance standards, including the submission of a Service Provider Security Assessment Questionnaire and the implementation of robust administrative and technical safeguards to protect government information.
