SimpliGov replace shared procurement emails

Description

replace DEPprocurment@dep.nj.gov and DEPprocurementforestry@dep.nj.gov with a single SimpliGov workflow. This needs to be very simple with perhaps P-card or other payment method drop down, comments and attachments. This would be collaborative stage heavy with minimal stages. This would mimic a drop-box with ability to route processing/review to multiple staff.

Problem Statement

Currently used shared email resources have led to lost records with the inherent lack of control or flow to incoming messages.

Project Justification

Procurement is a noted complex and lengthy process demanding shared but controlled/tracked access, preservation of the request history and long-term storage of final records for possible future audits. This project envisions a simple start that just replaces the current email to avoid losses and delay. It is expected that a workflow could be best refined after some use of the most basic tool.
