Service Catalog for Cloud RFP

The University of Michigan (“University”) seeks proposals from qualified Suppliers to assist with improving and/or re-designing Michigan Medicine (MM) Health Information Technology and Services' current ServiceNow Service Catalog to include cloud services, specifically for the pre-approved and pre-assured IaC patterns that have already been developed and establishing a framework to easily add more IaC patterns and pre-existing cloud services that are available through Microsoft Azure, with proper governance and financial transparency. As a second deliverable, MM is seeking a qualified Supplier to assist with design, implementation, and support of an Azure Virtual Enclave —a robust and controlled computing environment intended to facilitate authorized access to Protected Health Information (PHI) for research and analysis purposes. The University of Michigan (“University”) is not liable in any manner or to any extent for any cost or expense incurred by the supplier in the preparation, submission, presentation or any other action connected with proposing or otherwise responding to this RFP. Such exemption from liability applies whether such costs are incurred directly by the supplier or indirectly through the supplier’s agents, employees, assigns or others, whether related or not to the supplier. In submitting a proposal, Supplier agrees that all materials associated with, attached to, or referenced by the submitted proposal will become the property of the University and may be incorporated into a subsequent contractual agreement between the successful supplier and the University in an order of precedence as follows: (1) Contract Terms and Conditions; (2) Statement of Work; and (3) RFP. The University expects to enter into an agreement with the successful supplier for a one (1) year period with an option to extend for an additional one (1) year period as mutually agreed upon between the University and the supplier. Response to this RFP confirms an understanding that this is not a contract or offer of business by the University. The University’s standard terms and conditions will apply to the contract as a result of this RFP, and are included as an attachment.
