THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Erie County plans a three-year sole-vendor contract between Planful Incorporated and the Finance Department, with bidding waived under the county purchasing code. This locks in Planful as the finance software provider for budgeting or planning functions through a dedicated IT or SaaS agreement. Competing finance, ERP, and integration vendors now know Planful is the incumbent and can target integrations, change management, data services, and future replacement or renewal cycles.
This is a first reading; final adoption and execution will follow at a later council meeting.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Erie MPO issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Erie MPO's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Erie MPO before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified Erie MPO decision-maker contacts.
