Contract AwardProfessional ServicesDetected Jul 9, 2026

The July 9, 2026 Finance Committee agenda includes approval of a purchase of enrollment marketing, recruitment, and yield optimization services for Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, specifically naming EAB. This indicates SIUE is entering or renewing a comprehensive engagement with EAB for enrollment strategy and analytics-driven recruitment support. Because EAB is explicitly named in the agenda item description, the primary competitive decision has been made. This is strong incumbent intelligence for other enrollment and marketing firms as well as complementary technology providers: there will be ongoing implementation, data integration, and change-management work, and the contract will have a defined term that can inform future rebid or replacement strategies.

Services likely include digital marketing campaigns, CRM/yield analytics, and strategic advising; fr...

Pre-RFP

San Miguel County’s Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners are holding a July 9, 2026 joint work session to discuss proposed Land Use Code amendments for Section 6-4 Forestry Practices, Section 6-5 Oil & Gas Operations, and Section 6-6 Deep Geothermal Operations. This indicates the county is actively reviewing and potentially tightening or modernizing regulations governing forestry management and energy resource development. No consultant or vendor has been identified in the agenda, and the session is framed as a discussion of proposals rather than adoption of final language, so the county is still in the policy and technical drafting phase. This creates a pre-RFP opening for planning, legal, environmental, and technical consultants who can help with code drafting, impact analysis, stakeholder engagement, and implementation tools (such as permitting workflows or mapping). Vendors with expertise in forestry, oil and gas, geothermal, or land use regulation could position themselves to support follow-on studies, compliance tools, or ordinance implementation once direction is set.

Joint work session suggests both Planning Commission and BOCC will shape the amendments, which may l...

Contract Award

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville received Board approval to renew its three‑year professional services contract with EAB Global, Inc. for enrollment marketing, recruitment, and yield optimization for undergraduate students. The contract runs from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029, with a not‑to‑exceed value of 3575079 including 3116181 in program fees and an estimated 458898 in postage and media. EAB will continue to provide data‑driven recruitment campaigns, predictive modeling, and access to approximately 390000 prospective student names annually, helping SIUE sustain its enrollment pipeline and tuition revenue. For competing enrollment platforms, CRM, financial‑aid modeling firms, or creative agencies, this is critical incumbent intelligence and a signal that any displacement or add‑on conversation must be framed around integration, incremental value, or positioning ahead of the next rebid window near 2029.

Contract is funded by Enrollment Management operating funds and is under an IPHEC award; focuses on ...

The TDP notes that planning efforts during 2026–2032 will include updates to Ben Franklin Transit’s Long‑Range Transit Plan and corridor studies. These efforts will guide service expansion, regional connections, equity initiatives, and zero‑emission fleet deployment across the Tri‑Cities region. Because these are identified as future planning activities without named consultants, they represent upcoming needs for professional planning, modeling, and public engagement services. Transit planning and engineering firms can offer support for LRTP updates, corridor analyses, and grant‑ready project development that aligns with FTA and WSDOT expectations.

Planning work will underpin ridership growth targets through 2045 and future capital programming.
