The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) issued a notice of proposed sole source procurement for Workvivo services in a report published November 6. The proposal seeks to contract with Workvivo Limited for an estimated total of $655,519.00.
The proposed contract for Workvivo would span three years and include two one-year options. UTA's Purchasing Department identified Workvivo Limited as a sole source vendor because pricing from a competing vendor was significantly higher than both UTA’s current cost and the pricing provided by Workvivo Limited.
According to the notice, UTA does not believe a transition to a new vendor would be cost-effective at this time. The decision to continue with the existing platform is supported by the significant time, effort, and resources required to implement, migrate, train, and transition to a new platform. Continuing with the current platform allows UTA to leverage its current investment, maintain employee familiarity and adoption, and avoid unnecessary disruption to established internal communication processes.
Under UTA Procurement Policy, sole source procurements may be used only when the award of a contract is infeasible under other selection methods. This applies if the required goods or services are of a specialized nature requiring expertise from a single source, if public exigency or emergency prevents delay from competitive solicitations, or if competition is determined to be inadequate after soliciting multiple sources.
The public posting for this sole source purchase began on November 6, 2026, at 1:00 PM MST. Comments or objections regarding the proposed procurement must be emailed to UTA Contract and Grants Administrator Pat Postell at rwilson@rideuta.com prior to the due date for comments on November 13, 2026, at 11:30 AM MST. The notice period is scheduled to end on November 13, 2026, at 5:00 PM MST, with the earliest possible date for purchase set for November 14, 2020, at 9:00 AM MST.
A copy of information related to this procurement will be made available for public inspection upon request at the main office of UTA. This notice is a request for information only and is not a request for bids or proposals.
