Does *anyone* have any procurement documents that they can share? Your RFP or RFQ or RFI....or whatever you used to make a decision about which product and which vendor/service provider you were going to go with. I'd love to look over some copies of what has worked for people. I have my recommendations but I'd like to see what has actually worked in the field so I am sure to be steering other libraries in the right direction! Lori P.S. If you can share them for their content but you don't want any "personally-identifying information" shared about your institution, I am happy to do some scrubbing. I'd like to come up with a template that people can use. And I'd share it with everyone if I can get some help from those who've gone through it already.

Because of the costs involved, I'm afraid we are bound by our municipality's rules and the regs from our finance department to require an RFP. Believe me, if I could avoid it, I would. However, the RFP is not for the ILS itself. Since it is free, we have downloaded it. No sense in requiring an RFP for something you already own, right? Exactly the same things here (in France) : it's perfectly legal to say "we have choosen Koha and are looking for a company that can help us migrating, training,... It makes RFP much simpler : no need to explain what you need as features, you just have to say "i'm on ILS-A today, and need someone
Le 05/03/2011 00:30, Buster a écrit : that is experienced in migrating from ILS-A to Koha". It can be very easy & short !
