Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 22, 2026

A notice of motion from Councillor Day, scheduled for the June 22 2026 Council meeting, directs the Chief Administrative Officer to treat the City website as core governance infrastructure. The motion proposes restoring a staff directory with names, titles, direct contacts and emails; assigning clear governance ownership for the site; improving information architecture (searchable bylaws, updated organizational chart placement, enhanced development tracker with status, site details, proponents and timelines, task‑based navigation, and fixing broken links and search issues noted by the Royal Bay Homeowners Association); creating a Council decisions tracker; and reporting back within 30 and 60 days with implementation plans and design/timeline details. While no specific budget or vendor is identified, the breadth and timelines of the requested improvements imply upcoming needs in web strategy, UX design, content re‑architecture, search configuration, integrations (e.g., development and decisions trackers), and potentially cybersecurity‑aware directory implementation. This is a strong signal that Colwood may soon seek external support or leverage its CMS vendor for a substantial governance‑focused website enhancement program.

Contract Award

Southern Illinois University’s Board approved a three‑year Adobe Enterprise Term License Agreement for the entire SIU System, purchased through CDW Government, LLC under an IPHEC contract. The agreement, not to exceed 1750000 over three years, covers Creative Cloud, Acrobat, Adobe Sign, and shared device licenses used extensively in instruction, academic support, and administrative workflows. The decision maintains broad campus access rather than moving to limited per‑user licensing, which leadership concluded would be disruptive. For IT and EdTech vendors, this confirms Adobe as the entrenched content and document platform across SIUC (including the School of Medicine) and SIUE through roughly mid‑2029, and indicates ongoing needs around integration, training, accessibility, workflow automation, and potential complementary tools rather than replacement in the near term.

Funding will be proportionally allocated between SIUC (including School of Medicine) and SIUE via th...

Contract Award

In May 2026, the SIU School of Medicine issued a 148060.06 purchase order to CDW Government LLC for Epic hardware merchandise and equipment to be sold to departments through the IT store. This procurement is tied to Epic, the clinical EHR platform, and indicates ongoing investment in EHR‑related endpoint and peripheral hardware across clinical and academic units. Although the specific purchase is awarded, it confirms Epic as the core clinical system and points to a centralized internal resale model for Epic‑certified hardware. Vendors in clinical devices, secure endpoint management, and Epic integrations can leverage this insight to explore complementary solutions, manage lifecycle, and plan for future hardware refreshes aligned with Epic upgrades.

Funded via non‑appropriated funds; equipment is held by the IT store and sold to departments, indica...

Contract Award

In May 2026, SIUE awarded a non‑appropriated‑funds contract to Midwest Computer Products Incorporated for 228512.55 in audio/visual equipment to upgrade outdated smart classroom systems. The purchase focuses on replacing legacy AV hardware in instructional spaces to support current teaching technologies. While the immediate procurement is decided, this signals a broader refresh of classroom technology and may represent the first wave in a multi‑year modernization program. AV integrators, control‑system vendors, lecture‑capture providers, and support services firms can view this as a reference point for SIUE’s standards and look for follow‑on opportunities in additional rooms, campuses, or integration with LMS and collaboration platforms.

Funded from Non‑Appropriated Funds for General Educational Purposes; described as upgrading outdated...
