In this episode, we unpack ListEdTech's RFP Trends & Market Priorities – December 2025 Update, an analysis of five years of RFP activity across Higher Education and K–12. Drawing on thousands of procurement records from 2020 to 2025, the report reveals how institutional priorities are evolving as the market moves beyond pandemic-driven urgency.

We explore why K–12 remains highly active in Student Information System modernization, while HigherEd institutions are taking a more cautious approach, focusing on CRM and career readiness solutions. The episode also examines broader market signals pointing to a shift toward long-term stability, security, and back-office optimization heading into 2026, and why RFPs remain one of the most reliable indicators of where institutions are truly committing resources.
