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, vendor-hosted cloud-based SaaS enterprise reporting and analytics platform. The objective is to implement a secure and scalable solution to support 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 automated IPEDS exports. The selected contractor will be responsible for all labor, software licensing, implementation, and ongoing support, including knowledge transfer and training. The anticipated contract begins on November 5, 2026, and runs through November 4, 2031, consisting of an initial implementation period, 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, followed by a demonstration phase for top-scoring offerors worth 18 points. The contract emphasizes strict data security and confidentiality, requiring a completed Service Provider Security Assessment Questionnaire and adherence to State data governance standards, with liquidated damages of 1,000 dollars for unauthorized contacts with end users. Pricing must be firm, fixed, and all-inclusive, covering SaaS platform fees, project management, and training.
