Built For Collaboration
Transform homework into powerful results, faster
Every public procurement professional knows the drill. An end user asks procurement to source a particular product or service. Procurement asks the end user to complete a form providing additional details and requirements. Sometimes, the form is completed. Oftentimes, it is completed partially or not at all. The end result? The procurement professional is charged with completing a research assignment and engaging in ongoing back-and-forth with the end user to try to finalize workable requirements for the solicitation.
That typical homework assignment becomes a collaboration opportunity with Solicitation Builder. The end user can log in, develop the three core components of the solicitation to ensure the end user’s needs will be met, then procurement can review the end user’s work to ensure it meets applicable public procurement requirements. Export the work, finalize the solicitation, and publish.
