RFP coming soon

Exciting news! Our work is progressing quickly and we’re planning to share a Request for Proposals (RFP) in May to procure the services of one or more vendors to implement and operate the technical solution for Connect2 Community Network.

The RFP is scheduled for release in early May and responses will be due by mid-June. It is provided by HealthierHere and co-designed with the Connect2 Community Network Legal-Data-Tech Workgroup with input from network partners, stakeholders and subject matter experts. 

Interested? Here’s how you can prepare.

The intent of this “Save the Date” notice is to provide an opportunity for qualified and interested respondents to learn more about the concepts and technical requirements we envision for the CIE solution prior to issuing the RFP. 

If you are interested, we encourage you to review the Connect2 Community Network Plan (Plan) and begin to assemble team to collaborate on the response. The relevant sections of the Plan include: Vision, Scope and Use Cases; Privacy Plan; and Technology Plan. 

Not a tech vendor? You can help, too!
