From the meeting
Ken Hamilton mentioned Gordian as a possible way to handle larger scoped projects and said they work with local governments on RFPs without town funds. He also said North East uses them and that they can help avoid the appearance of preferential treatment. This is an early-stage sourcing idea, and the town planned to try to schedule an online presence for the next meeting.

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.
