Web-Based Employee Training Platform

The Newark Board of Education seeks a secure, cloud‑based employee training platform to deliver mandatory compliance courses to roughly 9,000 staff members and 5 administrators. The solution must support role‑based course assignment, real‑time progress tracking, dashboards, unlimited custom content uploads, and integration with PeopleSoft and the District’s Snowflake data warehouse. The vendor must provide a 30‑day demo, SSO via Azure AD, MFA, data‑at‑rest encryption, and meet extensive security and insurance requirements. The contract runs for two years (renewable for an additional two) with a fixed price and a start‑up implementation by early October 2026. • Core LMS functionality for 9,000 concurrent users, role‑based access, playlists, certificates, and analytics. • Full integration with PeopleSoft (SFTP/API) and Snowflake, plus Azure AD SSO/MFA. • Mandatory compliance documentation (insurance, NJ business registration, political‑contribution disclosures, etc.) and a 10‑user, 30‑day demo. • Fixed‑price licensing (per‑year) with no escalations, optional 2‑year renewal. • Vendor must supply detailed implementation plan, support SLA, and meet U.S. data‑residency requirements.
