AV procurement workflow for buyers
This page focuses on how buyer teams run AV sourcing from scope preparation to award decision, with a structure that supports cleaner comparisons and lower rework.
1. Prepare scope
Define intent, package boundaries, accepted alternatives, and critical compliance requirements before posting.
2. Publish a structured RFQ
Upload BOQ and supporting files with deadline, geography, and category so supplier matching stays relevant.
3. Receive structured bids
Keep bid submissions in one format so buyer teams can compare without rebuilding spreadsheets manually.
4. Run commercial comparison
Evaluate total cost, delivery timing, exclusions, and substitution risk before shortlisting.
5. Award and record
Issue award with a retained trail of scope, submitted bids, and rationale for internal reporting continuity.
Commercial controls buyers should enforce
Set clear supplier response deadlines, enforce a standard submission structure, and make exclusions explicit so award decisions are based on comparable commercial terms.
This does not guarantee outcome quality by itself. It gives procurement teams a cleaner basis for decision-making and reduces avoidable bid ambiguity.
