This document contains information about Request for Proposal (RFP) #783-22013 issued by the University of Houston System (UH System) for a Source-to-Pay E-Procurement System. The UH System, which includes the University of Houston, University of Houston-Clear Lake, University of Houston-Downtown, and University of Houston-Victoria, is seeking proposals for an electronic procurement system that will integrate with their PeopleSoft 9.2 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The selected system should provide functionality for the entire source-to-pay cycle, including e-sourcing, contract management, e-procurement, analytics and reporting, and accounts payable processes. The UH System anticipates the implementation and rollout of the selected system to be completed in a timely fashion and in accordance with best practices.

The RFP states that the proposed system should be a hosted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) license model that is generally available and currently implemented at comparable institutions. Any necessary modifications or additions to the system must be approved by the University and become part of the base product without additional fees or costs in future releases or upgrades. The University is encouraging proposers to provide contractual arrangements that offer the maximum benefit in terms of system and services, total overall cost, and project management expertise. Proposers should also describe any educational, state, and local government discounts that may be available.
