A public research university in Virginia is seeking proposals for a vendor-hosted (SaaS) anonymous compliance and ethics reporting system. The desired solution must enable individuals to submit concerns regarding potential ethical misconduct or non-compliance, as well as seek guidance on ethics or compliance matters. The system should be accessible 24/7, support anonymity or self-identification for reporters, and provide multiple channels for submitting reports, such as telephone, web, and smart device interfaces.

Vendors must offer trained intake personnel with expertise in the higher education sector and provide comprehensive multilingual translation services, including a list of foreign languages supported beyond English. Robust case management software and options for generating automated reports are required. The proposed system should be capable of scaling to meet the demands of a large university and accommodate growth in report submissions and user engagement.

The contract is anticipated to span one year, with the deadline for submitting questions set for February 9, 2026.
