Planning, Budgeting, And Forecasting Platform

The City of Columbus (City), Department of Finance and Management (Department of Finance or Finance) pursuant to the Revised Code of the State of Ohio, the Charter of the City of Columbus, and Columbus City Code of Ordinances Section 329.28 (link to full text of code), seeks proposals from highly qualified and experienced publishers or authorized partners (Offerors), for a turnkey solution for a citywide Planning, Budgeting, & Forecasting Platform in general, and specifically for Public Sector entities and municipalities. At the heart of our work is a shared North Star – our Values, Mission, and Vision – which ground us in who we are, why we serve, and where we aspire to go as a city. These foundational elements guide every decision we make and every step we take. To move with intention toward this future, the City seeks to establish a long-term, city-wide Strategic Roadmap by building transparency in Planning, Budgeting, and Forecasting across all City departments into a unified platform. The platform will assist with translating Columbus’ long-term vision, which serve as the unifying path forward, with clear priorities and goals, aligning our efforts across departments and teams. Together, these components connect purpose to progress, ensuring that our daily work delivers real, measurable impact for the residents and neighborhoods we serve. This is more than a plan, it’s our commitment to continuous improvement, collaboration, and positive outcomes. It is how we turn aspiration into action – maximizing equitable opportunities to foster prosperity for all who call Columbus home.
