Avasant consultants assist their clients in developing detailed requirements to drive the development of the request for proposal (RFP) package. Our proven process and robust document models ensure the efficient development of a complete and detailed set of documents, which give both clear instructions and a comprehensive picture of the scope and performance levels the client requires to enable potential service providers to develop solid proposals on the first round.
Our robust Statement of Work (SOW) and Contract models are used to jump-start the process. Avasant advisers work with you to customize these key documents to reflect your environment and needs. Preparing this comprehensively upfront saves time downstream, as all key information is known before providers develop their bids. Once all of the components of the RFP have been developed, the RFP packet is assembled and sent to the provider candidates. The RFP includes all necessary components to allow service providers to prepare complete bid proposals on the first round of bids.
We also assist in providing clear response format instructions and templates to facilitate response evaluation per the evaluation scoring model we develop with you prior to the response receipt deadline. To encourage creative thinking by provider candidates, we provide for innovative alternative responses separate from the mandatory compliant response. This allows you to consider incorporating new ideas into your requirements as the process progresses toward provider selection.
