THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The town manager reported that the IT contract was awarded to IT4ME for $31,308, and the process of moving services from the City of Waterville has started. This marks a shift to a dedicated external IT provider and likely includes network, systems support, and cybersecurity for municipal operations. IT vendors should treat IT4ME as the incumbent while watching for integration projects, software selections, and future renewals or expansions stemming from this transition.
New IT contract reportedly adds about $25,000 to the General Government budget; the town is exploring using $10,000 from the current year to offset next year's IT costs.

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.
