Ellucian ERP IT consultants

The State of South Carolina, specifically the State Fiscal Accountability Authority (SFAA) Division of Procurement Services and on behalf of South Carolina State University and the South Carolina Technical College System, is seeking Ellucian ERP IT consultants through a multi-agency statewide term contract. The procurement covers two distinct lots: Lot 1 for Banner personnel and Lot 2 for Colleague personnel, with twelve and seven consultant categories respectively, including technical architects, developers, database administrators, functional consultants, and project management professionals. Each role has specific technical and experience requirements, ranging from five to twelve years of Ellucian implementation experience, with detailed qualifications in programming languages, database platforms, and enterprise tools. The solicitation seeks consultants to support ERP software implementations, data migration, system design, production support, and change management across higher education institutions and local political subdivisions. Key submission details include a proposal deadline of December 6, 2022, at 11:00 AM EST, with questions due by November 15, 2022, at 12:00 PM EST, and award notification scheduled for December 14, 2022.

The contract does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, and no incumbent vendors are explicitly identified. The initial contract term is one year with four potential one-year renewals, spanning from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2028. Pricing is structured on an hourly rate basis, with maximum allowable rates ranging from $115 to $160 per hour depending on personnel category and work location, plus a $45 per hour travel expense line item. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in general liability, $5,000,000 in cyber and privacy insurance, and worker's compensation. All work product and deliverables will be exclusively owned by the Using Governmental Unit, and personnel must be approved through potential background checks, criminal history verification, and drug screening. The solicitation emphasizes that no specific budget has been established, and projects will be determined on an as-needed basis through individual Statements of Work, making the total contract value indeterminate at this time.
