CIPS Request for Proposals – Digital Infrastructure Procurement |

As part of a new three year plan CIPS needs a new website that enables the improved delivery and security of member information, services and benefits. The website needs to be fully integrated with a robust member management system.
Key elements are a website, an identity management system, a member management system (MMS), a learning management system (LMS), and an automated certification application and discipline process.
