Procurement
Network Intelligence is usually employed
to manage all or part of the procurement process.
We convert project documentation into tender format
including main contractor preliminaries and other contractual
information.
The tender process generally produces more refined
and market based costings and it is towards the end
of this exercise that we are able to finalise the budgets.
NIL undertakes a vendor assessment programme in conjunction
with the Client's directives or the main contractor's
guidelines. In many cases the Client may have preferred
contractors they wish to include on the tender list
or purely negotiate a contract with.
In other cases NIL is asked to provide names of companies
with whom it has worked with previously or whom it knows has successfully delivered for other customers.
Network Intelligence manages the tender process from
issue to contract award, the final decision always residing
with the Client.
Once the Contractors’ proposals have been accepted
and we are able to finalise the budget, NIL prepares
detailed cash-flow information that is continually reported
on a weekly or even daily basis.
Ultimately Network Intelligence can take a complete
procurement brief from the Client; effectively acting
as a main contractor and single point of contractual
responsibility.
