OHS request for proposals for SaaS services
The Office of Homeless Services (OHS), the Lead Agency for the Philadelphia Continuum of Care — the County’s homeless response system — has posted to eContractPhilly a new Request for Proposals (RFP #21250124154600) from qualified vendors for a web-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
The Philadelphia Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is the data infrastructure that is used to collect and store client-level and program-level information about people who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness, and a critical tool for understanding and improving our efforts to reduce homelessness. OHS is looking for a system that will require minimal customization and will better accommodate the agency’s data collection requirements.
Mandatory pre-proposal meeting
Prospective applicants must attend a pre-proposal meeting on April 28, 2025, at 3 p.m. Local Philadelphia Time.
Proposal application deadline
The application is due by 5 p.m. Local Philadelphia Time on May 23, 2025.
