Curricum Management System Software

Eastern Washington University (EWU) is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive curriculum management system software solution through RFP 25-CTR01. The procurement targets a robust workflow tool designed to facilitate curriculum change management, streamline annual catalog processing, and support course section creation with seamless integration to EWU's existing Ellucian Banner student information system. Proposals are due on December 13, 2024, no later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time, with the contract period scheduled to commence on February 28, 2025. The initial contract term is three years, with potential extensions allowing for a total of five years. Evaluation criteria will be weighted across three key areas: technical capabilities (45 points), management proposal (45 points), and cost proposal (10 points). Minimum qualifications include Washington state licensing requirements, compliance with state labor laws, and adherence to extensive data security and privacy standards. Contractors must also maintain cyber liability insurance with coverage limits of at least $3,000,000 per occurrence.

The solicitation encourages participation from minority-owned (10% goal), women-owned (4% goal), and veteran-owned businesses, though these goals are voluntary. The contract is open to all Washington Institutions of Public Higher Education (WIPHE) consortium members, potentially expanding its utilization beyond EWU. Proposing organizations must demonstrate robust software capabilities that can effectively manage curriculum workflows, integrate with existing systems, and provide comprehensive reporting and change management functionalities. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement and the multi-year contract suggest a significant investment in technological infrastructure. The procurement approach indicates a strategic effort to modernize curriculum management processes through an advanced software solution that can adapt to the complex needs of a public higher education institution.
