A department in California is seeking a qualified vendor to provide a Software as a Service (SaaS) grants management system. The proposed solution must facilitate comprehensive management of grants and funding programs, supporting the tracking of program activities and the administration of various grant types, each with distinct workflows.

The grants management system should streamline and enhance the department’s processes for managing both local and federal grants, including tracking, application intake, agreement execution, and reimbursement processing. The selected system must include a public-facing portal allowing grant recipients to submit applications, manage information and documents, execute agreements, request payments, and provide outcome data—including grant closeout details.

Additionally, the solution must integrate seamlessly with third-party tools such as SAP, Microsoft 365, and Adobe, recognizing that current grant administration and reporting functions are performed using cloud-based Microsoft platforms. The contract period for the awarded vendor will be three years.
