Avasant takes the guesswork out of selecting your sourcing service providers. In addition to key evaluation and scoring models that feature high success predictability, we also facilitate meetings to prepare providers to respond to the RFP. A service provider conference is held one week after the RFP is issued so that service providers can begin their discovery process by clarifying information about the RFP. After the conference, and during the response period, a formal question-and-answer process is established internally at your company to respond to service provider inquiries. Avasant consultants work with you to designate relevant data that could be made accessible to the service providers for preliminary due diligence purposes. Avasant consultants provide guidance on the response process and assistance regarding service provider inquiries.
While the service provider candidates develop their proposals, Avasant advisors help you customize our proposal evaluation model template, which we've refined over hundreds of engagements. The model is a weighted hierarchical model that contains major criteria and sub elements. Once proposals are submitted, the scoring model is used to rate the proposals, facilitating a more objective means to narrow the field.
