DESCRIPTION
The government authority in New Britain, Connecticut, is seeking information from vendors capable of providing a centralized workforce and innovation hub solution.

The solution should consolidate information currently managed through disconnected systems, spreadsheets, email communications, departmental databases, and individual relationships. It is expected to improve cross-department collaboration, reduce duplicate outreach, support partnership development, and advance workforce development and experiential learning initiatives.
Additional objectives include establishing an institutional repository for external partnership information, supporting strategic planning and accreditation reporting, enabling executive-level analytics and performance measurement, increasing visibility into partnership outcomes, and maintaining organization profiles, addresses, websites, and contact information. Vendor questions must be submitted by September 14, 2026.
