Presentation Description: The development of an RFP for a technology system is not a simple matter. The successful deployment of technology systems requires the involvement of many functions within your organization. While often stared from within operational or technical departments, it requires collaboration with groups including purchasing, legal, administrative, and even the political levels of the organization. We go through the development of a public safety technology system, focusing on the creation of the procurement documents, using a wholisticâ€approach to prevent overlooking of critical issues. Documents developed this way capture the requirements of your agency in a manner that leads to success.
Learning Objectives:
The participants will build an understanding of the best practices for RFP development and vendor negotiation. This session will prepare the attendees for the role of managing the RFP process through a collaborative team process.
The participants will gain an understanding of how to build a procurement team to help assure that stakeholders requirements are properly collected and reflected in the procurement documents.
The participants will build an understanding of how to structure requirements and specification to ensure the desired value is delivered by the vendor, and how to avoid unintentional dilution of the specification through negotiation.
