Description
The Colorado Governor’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market intelligence regarding the procurement, provisioning, and management of Google Workspace Enterprise licensing. OIT is specifically investigating ways to streamline its current supply chain to reduce fulfillment lag times and optimize cost-efficiency. The RFI seeks information on existing cooperative procurement vehicles, pricing models, and technical capabilities to support a 49,000+ user Google Workspace environment. Key aspects of the RFI include:
• Market research to identify existing cooperative agreements that offer Google Workspace Enterprise Plus licensing with required delivery SLAs
• Pricing intelligence to understand how different procurement paths affect the final unit price and administrative markups
• Transition feasibility to evaluate the process for a seamless transfer of the "Partner of Record" status for a 49,000+ user environment
• Operational efficiency to verify if a more direct path is supported by current market and partner program structures
• Technical capabilities to provide rapid, reliable license provisioning and support a 5-business-day fulfillment SLA
• Managed and supplemental services, such as automated lifecycle management, efficiency and right-sizing audits, and security and compliance monitoring
