What the buyer needs

AI summary

The District seeks a commercial off-the-shelf accounts payable automation software solution to interface with its on-premise JD Edwards ERP system. The software must provide intelligent optical character recognition to ingest invoices, adapt to layout changes, validate configured tax codes, route workflows for finance approvals, and offer role-configurable dashboards. Vendors must also support security threat and risk assessments, while performing all required work offsite. Only Canadian organizations are eligible to bid. Qualified proposals must satisfy mandatory technical and security requirements before the buyer evaluates non-functional, functional, core capability, project management, and pricing criteria. Shortlisted bidders will complete product demonstrations and a potential sandbox evaluation, with pricing scored across 25 points using a relative formula based on six-year total costs. All questions must be submitted by December 1, 2026, and proposals are due by December 8, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. local time. The resulting contract term will last for three years.
