The Escambia County Building Inspections Department is reviewing its IT services to ensure they directly support building code enforcement. This review includes network infrastructure, internet connectivity for public portals and field inspectors, cybersecurity services to protect sensitive data, help desk support for all staff, business analysis for process improvements, disaster recovery for essential records, and enterprise applications like permitting software and Microsoft 365. This item is currently under review by the Inspection Fund Advisory Board. The project would involve ongoing IT services and support, potentially including network upgrades, cybersecurity enhancements, and help desk operations. Local contractors, IT service providers, and suppliers specializing in network infrastructure, cybersecurity, business analysis, and enterprise software support could find opportunities. Engaging early allows businesses to understand the county's needs before final plans and contracts are set.
