Strategic Plan Tracking Software

The City of Chesapeake, VA, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence on software solutions that can monitor, manage, and report on the progress of the city’s strategic initiatives and comprehensive plan. The city currently uses Word documents and PowerPoint presentations for annual updates and seeks a more integrated, automated platform that can track outcomes, send reminders, store supporting documents, and link strategic plan elements to the Comprehensive Plan. Vendors are asked to provide objective, fact‑based information about existing products; they may not promote their own solutions beyond the requested factual data. The RFI is purely informational and will help the city assess market options before any formal procurement. • Goal: Identify available software platforms that can track strategic‑plan outcomes, manage annual update forms, and store related documents. • Required functionality: progress tracking, automated reminders, document upload, linkage to Comprehensive Plan, multi‑department access. • Current process: Manual Word forms and PowerPoint uploads; inconsistent timing of work‑plan submissions. • Vendor response constraints: No self‑promotion; only factual product information. • Outcome: City will use responses to validate market interest, explore options, and decide whether to pursue a turnkey solution or custom development in a future procurement.
