Charge

The Shared ILS Team (FY12) is charged with conducting an open and impartial competitive Shared ILS procurement process that features broad sharing of procurement steps and requirements with all Alliance members and strong support for "due diligence features" such as public notice of bid process, comment, acknowledgement of comment, and public notice of award.   In the completion of its charge, SILST will communicate with members and relevant agencies, create and advertise a procurement process, respond to vendor input, meet with vendors, score proposals, and provide recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning:
  • Vendor selected for negotiation phase of procurement (i.e., apparent award)
  • Negotiating Team composition and charge
  • Options presented in the recommended bid (implementation timing, process, etc.)

Timeline
