RFP Management

Take the stress out of the technology RFP process

The RFP process is no small undertaking. As your school or district identifies technology needs, the BLEgroup can help you identify products and firms to meet those needs as well as manage the procurement process. We’ll work with you to craft and release an RFP or RFQ and then manage the process of receiving and evaluating responses from vendors.

The effective adoption of a new technology product into teaching and learning processes takes planning, management, and extensive training. To ensure that your new technology purchases are used throughout your school system, the BLEgroup offers a proven methodology for managing the technical and organizational aspects of introducing new technology.
