RFP or RFT Management for Core System Upgrades
Engage Blue Bike to independently manage your end-to-end requirements and RFP process to free up your internal staff and ensure the product and vendor selection occurs in an effective, efficient and compliant way with full procurement probity.
Taking out the complexity
Imagine being a discerning Restaurant Critic
RFP Management: You have a clear vision of the ideal dining experience (your desired technology upgrade), and you're tasked with finding the perfect restaurant (technology vendor) to match your needs. You carefully craft a menu (RFP) outlining your specific requirements and preferences, and then meticulously evaluate the responses (proposals) from various establishments (vendors) to select the best fit for your taste (business needs).
Office Talk
-
"We're thinking about upgrading our core systems, but I'm not sure we have the internal expertise or resources to handle the whole procurement process. Can you help us with that?“
-
"Evaluating different vendors for this project feels overwhelming. It would be helpful to have someone guide us through the process and explore all the options available?"
How we can help
We bring an objective, independent, vendor-agnostic digital strategy perspective to identify your needs for enhanced technology capabilities (your requirements). We will then help you to navigate the RFP process, across your potential vendors.
Developing functional and non-functional requirements, integration needs, and a future-state architecture, we then conduct a market scan and identify a list of possible products and vendors. We leverage our significant experience and proprietary IP to provide guidance and validation on good potential candidates.
We can then design and conduct the RFP process to take the organisation through to a product, quotes and vendor selection decision. Depending on your needs, we can also support the Business Case development (Benefits, ROI, etc).
