Sourcing Selection & Coordination

Are you daunted by running a supplier selection or RFP (request for proposal)? We recognise that these activities can be complex and time consuming. We can support all aspects of the selection process from identifying key stakeholders through to creating RFP artefacts, gathering supporting data from multiple sources, documenting non-functional requirements and establishing key comms with selected vendors/suppliers.

Sourcing Evaluation

We will support you with the development of an independent evaluation framework and provide support throughout evaluation process. This includes coordinating selection presentations, responding to vendor/supplier questions and using the objective evaluation framework to score responses. This ensures you are selecting the best solution for you and delivering value for your business.

Sourcing Agreements

Our consultants can support internal teams, helping them to understand the obligations, plan for quick mobilisation, identify and manage risks, and engage with the supplier. Our experience enables us to work with your legal and procurement teams, to support the drafting of initial commercials, helping define key clauses such as specific Service Level Agreements (SLA’s).
