SupplierSelect for Financial Services (SupplierSelect) is a web-based platform for managing RFIs and RFPs.
The procurement of complex services demands rigorous RFP processes. We have the tools to empower you to avoid struggling with hard-to-compare spreadsheets and documents while preserving confidentiality, transparency and the balancing of multiple priorities. SupplierSelect for Financial Services combines technical and sourcing expertise to automate and control the RFP process. It is delivered through an intuitive website, and features flexible questionnaires, automatic scoring, full audit trails, comparative reporting, and Word and Excel integration for the easy import and export of information.
Key Benefits
SupplierSelect provides:
- Security/Confidentiality - SSL encryption and fine-grained permissions protect your data.
- Transparency - all tender management guidelines required by regulated markets and the public sector are supported so that contract award decisions demonstrate impartiality, transparency and a complete audit trail.
- Process Efficiency - all interaction is via a single user-friendly website, eliminating time wasted with emails, Word documents, re-keying, spreadsheets, and complex scoring calculations. For repeated procurement, answers and scores can be re-imported from past projects to save time. Responses can be selectively compared side by side.
- Team Work - geographically dispersed teams can collaborate effectively, working on the same information and seeing changes in real time. Fine-grained permissions and comprehensive auditing enable the involvement of more people in the process without sacrificing control.
- Decision Quality - scoring, weighting, and analysis of responses via charts with drill down capability enable bidders to be compared instantly across all selection criteria.
- Ease of Use - the intuitive user interface is complemented by user guides, a database of Frequently Asked Questions, and technical support from Thomas Murray Investor Services.
