Specifications include, but are not limited to: The STATE is soliciting proposals for an updated Statewide budget tool that will boost efficiency, quality and provide an enhanced end user experience with a user-friendly intuitive system. The STATE desires a budget solution that will be easily maintainable by existing staff and flexible enough to be configurable to the STATE’s budget management needs. The new system should support multiple budget approaches (i.e. incremental, line item, performance, and program). OMB expects that when the system is fully operational it will allow multiple completed budget versions in the system to facilitate the entire budget process lifecycle. The budget lifecycle includes issuance of budget guidelines to state agencies; agency budget development and submission; OMB budget validation and analysis; legislative approval process; and budget execution. The proposed system will facilitate combining all the state agency needs into a single executive budget recommendation for legislative consideration.
