Status updates of the migration will be periodically posted. Please keep checking back!
Where can I find research on a particular supplier? Gartner.com has vendor ratings and access to the Magic Quadrants that show the leading suppliers in a particular market segment.
Is a supplier allowed to perform a proof of concept (POC) during an RFP? A POC is not possible with any one particular supplier, while an RFP is in process. However, you can make a POC a part of the final RFP, as long as you are giving every supplier a chance to prove their concept. Please consider this could take a lot of internal bandwidth.
Can pilots be included into the RFP process? A pilot can be included into the RFP process once the supplier has been selected.
When a supplier sends in a question during an RFP who is responsible for answering it? The committee chair is responsible for answering the proposer's questions received during the RFP. It is the chair's responsibility to distribute questions and get the answers completed. If a question is Procurement related, the Buyer may choose to answer the question themselves, instead of waiting for the delegation process. Please use the supplier questions template to keep questions organized.
What are the responsibilities of a voting member? A voting member is normally a stakeholder in the project. They have the right to vote during the evaluation of the formal solicitation. A voting member must participate in all committee meetings.
