Procurement

Network Intelligence is usually employed to manage all or part of the IT 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.
