From the meeting
On September 28, 2026 the Select Board heard a presentation from North Shore IT Collaborative Executive Director Colby Cousens. He said the collaborative serves eight communities, runs a shared cybersecurity program, hosts servers in Danvers, and writes grants, including Community Compact grants and federal grants. He also said two more communities may join, which would increase purchasing power and vendor leverage.

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.
