Advisory
Vendor Selection & Requirements
We write the requirements document, evaluate vendors neutrally, and support negotiations — so you don't end up buying what sells best.
Included
- RFP creation
- Vendor scoring
- Contract negotiation
- Reference calls
How we work
- Requirements workshop: functional, technical, regulatory, and commercial
- RFP creation with traceable weighting of criteria
- Long-list vendor research, short-list to 3-5 vendors
- Structured vendor evaluation with demo scripts and reference calls
- Contract negotiation support — SLAs, exit clauses, avoiding vendor lock-in
Examples from our practice
- Industrial firm: document-processing platform selected from three vendors; contract duration negotiated 12 months shorter than vendor standard
- Insurance company: RAG vendor neutrally evaluated; make-or-buy decision with clear cost/effort balance
What you concretely get
- Traceably documented selection process (audit-ready)
- Contract with fair SLAs and clean exit clause
- Realistic effort and cost expectations
- Internal knowledge for future own vendor evaluations
Engagement model
2-4 months depending on complexity. 8-15 advisory days. Fixed price possible.
