Evaluating proposals for a large
scale procurement project is a lengthy and detailed process
requiring a team of people to sort through piles of information
and come to consensus on a thorough set of recommendations.
It can also be a costly, confrontational and difficult
process and one that large corporations and government
agencies alike struggle to make efficient and equitable.
Facilitate.com provides a breakthrough in this laborious
process with efficient organization and sharing of evaluations
and observations, comments and questions. The result is
a thorough comparison of alternatives and faster decision
making. And no paper!
Web Collaboration Solutions
Facilitate.com's
meeting tools allow buyers
to rapidly capture bid requirements over the Internet
or intranet to create quality RFPs. Requirements are
easily categorized and prioritized. Once the bids are
in, evaluation committees come together in Facilitate.com's
intuitive and interactive web-based electronic meeting
room to discuss and evaluate bids. With access to a
web browser, evaluation teams have the option to conduct
all or part of their work in the same place, at the
same time, or across locations and time zones. The voting
tool is used to create numerical ratings based on defined
criteria. The whole process is archived within a single
database. Organized reports are generated for inclusion
in a final decision document. With Facilitate.com, bid
evaluations are completed more thoroughly in less time.
Client Example
At NASA
Ames Research Center, the evaluation of complex
procurement bids is conducted by a six to eight person
Source Evaluation Board (S.E.B.). By using Facilitate.com's
electronic conference to conduct an online structured
evaluation and discussion of bids and the voting tool
to create the final ranking, NASA was able to reduce
the time from evaluation to award by two months while
increasing the clarity and consistency of the recommendations.
