Choose against your requirements, not the sales pitch.

When competing proposals are hard to compare

A feature checklist can hide differences in configuration, customisation, integration effort and ongoing ownership. We help define evaluation questions and scenarios that make those differences visible, while keeping mandatory requirements separate from desirable features.

Prepare the brief

Define the problem, scope, constraints and priority use cases before issuing an RFI or RFP. Include identity populations, application landscape, delivery expectations and the evidence suppliers should provide.

Evaluate consistently

Build weighted criteria and comparable demonstration scenarios. Record whether a requirement is supported directly, requires configuration or depends on additional work, with assumptions and open questions retained.

Clarify the delivery scope

Challenge dependencies, responsibilities, acceptance criteria and handover arrangements. Support procurement discussions with a clear technical view of what is included and what remains to be resolved.

Typical deliverables

  • RFI or RFP requirements and evaluation questions
  • Supplier scoring matrix and evidence log
  • Scenario-based demonstration agenda
  • Scope, dependency and implementation assumptions review

Deliverables are tailored to the stage of your programme and the responsibilities you need us to take on. We can work alongside internal teams and existing delivery partners.

Questions about this service

Do you make the purchasing decision for us?

No. We provide analysis and recommendations to support your decision. Your procurement, commercial and accountable business owners retain their approval responsibilities.

Can you help after a preferred supplier is selected?

Yes. We can help turn evaluation findings into clarified requirements, delivery assumptions and acceptance criteria before implementation begins.
