Bodner Consulting has seen RFPs veer into irrelevant requirements many times, resulting in drawn out procurements and poor selections. Distilling the essence of what is needed and important is an early and essential step. This becomes challenging when various stakeholders and agencies are involved, each bringing their unique concerns. Bodner Consulting helps teams hone in on what really matters.

As your draft RFP gets rolling, more concerns are likely to arise, leading to more requirements. By strategically resisting the pressure to over-do or skew the project disproportionately in favor of any one agency, a balanced approach can be achieved. Bodner Consulting can facilitate this balance and keep the team grounded in a holistic understanding of the collective objectives. This ensures that the project is well-rounded, resilient, and capable of meeting the diverse needs of all stakeholders involved.

Complex procurements, and especially those geared toward helping the less fortunate, are grounded in real problems; often urgent ones. A drawn out process to get a project to implementation does a disservice to the urgency of those in need. A well designed RFP includes a well thought-out evaluation process that can be completed fairly and rapidly and gets the ball roiling as soon as possible.
