DESCRIPTION

A public sector entity in Massachusetts is seeking proposals for a cloud-based vendor onboarding and supplier risk management platform. The platform must automate the collection, verification, maintenance, and monitoring of supplier information, including handling tax documentation, banking information, compliance screening, and seamless ERP integration. The goal is to reduce manual processes, enhance internal controls, mitigate vendor payment fraud, support regulatory compliance, and elevate the supplier onboarding experience.

The selected solution should be provided as a fully hosted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering, requiring only standard web browsers for access with no local client installations needed. It must support secure, browser-based access—including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari—and offer a responsive, mobile-friendly interface. Additional requirements include configurable workflows without custom coding, role-based security administration, and compatibility with public-sector procurement and finance operations. Proposals should cover the entire vendor lifecycle from onboarding through ongoing maintenance and offboarding.
