THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

Leonardtown has budgeted an upgrade of its utility billing software to a cloud-based version for the Enterprise Fund in FY2026. The existing payment stack uses Bluefin for credit cards, Vanco for bank checks, and Ttech for echecks, and the upgrade will add direct debit capability.

What it means for vendors

Staff is now asking council to consider shifting processing fees to customers, indicating active review of payment workflows and costs. This is a live opportunity for utility billing, payment processing, and fintech vendors to discuss cloud migration, integrated payment options, and fee structures with the Treasurer and council.

Background

Enterprise Fund utility operations are intended to be self-supporting, so the fee discussion is tied to cost recovery and may influence vendor negotiations.

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.
