Student Success Software Solution RFP

The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) is seeking a comprehensive software solution to enhance and support academic progress, planning, and student achievement across the state's 34 community and technical colleges. The solution must integrate with SBCTC's PeopleSoft enterprise resource planning system and provide insights into disaggregated student performance, engagement, and behavior, enabling targeted interventions and support. The RFP outlines detailed functional and technical requirements, including student goal planning and progress tracking, communication tools, case management capabilities, accessibility and equity features, and robust data and analytics. Vendor responses are due on October 29, 2024, and the SBCTC will select the Apparent Successful Vendor on November 19, 2024. The contract term is anticipated to be 3-5 years with extension options.

SBCTC strongly encourages participation from minority and women-owned businesses, though no minimum participation level is required. The RFP does not provide an overall budget, as each participating college will make individual purchases. SBCTC is open to considering multiple contracts if necessary to fully satisfy the RFP requirements. The successful vendor will be expected to enter into a contract substantially similar to the one provided in the RFP documents, with pricing presented as a 5-year cost, including implementation, licensing, training, and maintenance.
