Vendor Selection & Contracting
Enspiria Solutions helps utilities with the development of detailed requirements and requests for proposals (RFPs) as well as with response assessment, vendor selection and contract negotiation support. We advise not only on products but also their integration with key business applications.
Examples of these projects include Alliant Energy, Anaheim Public Utilities, BGE, CPS Energy, NV Energy, PECO, PHI and SDG&E.
Enspiria develops requirements that maximize benefits, minimize lifecycle costs and mitigate overall project risks. Enspiria has sample guidelines for vendor responses including:
- Are the requirements traceable to the business case?
- What are the deployment and integration risks and requirements?
- What level of configuration or customization is required to meet the requirements?
- Are any third-party products/technologies or services required for deployment and O&M?
- Will data migration, conversion and/or clean-up be required and to what extent?
- What are the costs and fees for the third-party products and services?
- Have risks been minimized through contract development?
Enspiria brings tools, processes and methodologies which are consistent, documented and discoverable. They have been successfully scrutinized through several utility commission reviews.
