In 2025, PHII hosted a three-part webinar series in collaboration with CDC. The webinars included best practices, industry standards and use cases to help jurisdictions understand the procurement process from start to finish.

Successful information technology procurements can be technically and legally complex, requiring thoughtful planning and plenty of lead time. The webinars focused on procuring software (e.g., migrating to a new IIS platform, acquiring a new or replacement module) and obtaining technical services (e.g., obtaining or renewing maintenance and service contracts).

Downloadable resources below include downloadable slides for each webinar session and a one-pager guide to procurement phases.

Video recordings of webinar series:

• • Week 1: Acquisition Planning
  • Week 2: Statement of Work and Solicitation Phase
  • Week 3: Pre-award/award phase
