The Judicial Council of California (“Judicial Council”), chaired by the Chief Justice of California, is the chief policy making agency of the California judicial system. The Center for Families, Children, and the Courts (CFCC) is an office within the Judicial Council’s Operations & Programs Division. The CFCC is dedicated to improving the quality of justice and services to meet the diverse needs of children, youth, and families. The CFCC and other Judicial Council offices require a single three-year subscription (with two-year option to renew) for an email marketing software solution that can design and share custom email communications to various email contact groups. The single subscription for CFCC will need to support up to ten account user groups. See RFP, Exhibit 1 for software requirements. All software functions, features, reports, etc. will be accessed via the Internet.

The Judicial Council intends to award one proposal, for an initial three-year subscription. If the Judicial Council elects to extend the term by two years, it will be based on an additional two-year subscription. The Judicial Council reserves the right to make only one award, or to reject any or all proposals submitted in response to this RFP.
