From the meeting
State Public Defender Jennifer Bias presented a comprehensive analysis arguing that Wisconsin needs a broader workload model for public defense and prosecutor funding. The document said the current case database was built in 2002, SPD does not have a case management system, and technology has not kept pace with digital discovery. It recommended standards for support staff ratios, addressing over-charging, and using better technology, but no solicitation was announced.

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 State of Wisconsin issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks State of Wisconsin'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 State of Wisconsin before the RFP is published?
