AI Contract Overview
The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) is conducting market research via RFI-CO-424390-PIVOT to identify Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solutions for a Common Procurement Platform. The scope focuses on e-procurement capabilities including Source-to-Contract (S2C), Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), Vendor Management (VM), and cross-cutting platform services such as security, reporting, and integration. Downstream Procure-to-Pay (P2P) finance functions are explicitly excluded as they are treated as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) dependencies. This initiative is part of the NATO Digital Transformation program to streamline procurement and improve performance-based contracting. This RFI is issued for planning purposes only and is not a request for bids. Eligible respondents must be from NATO member countries and are required to submit a main narrative response not exceeding 12 pages, along with a completed Annex B Excel file containing a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate and feedback on the Epic-Outcome Matrix. Responses must be submitted via email to the NCIA by 12:00 CET on September 7, 2026. The NCIA is specifically seeking information on security certifications, such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and the ability to restrict data residency to NATO member-country jurisdictions.

Full Description
The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA), in coordination with the NATO Digital Transformation program and relevant NATO entities, is conducting market research to understand market capabilities and gather input on potential Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solutions to support the acquisition of e-procurement capabilities across Source-to-Contract (S2C), Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), Vendor Management (VM), and associated cross-cutting platform services.
The downstream finance-facing Procure-to-Pay (P2P) component (i.e., invoice capture, three-way matching, payments, budget control and commitments, and non-PO spend) is treated as an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Tool dependency and is out of scope for this RFI. NCIA welcomes industry feedback on this scoping boundary.
