Services : Procurement

Experienced throughout the full procurement life cycle Mosaic may support clients through all stages or engage in specific nodes

Providing both Business and Software Engineering consulting we are equipped to ensure smooth operation from POC and Requirements Specification (RS) through negotiation and contract formulation to successful implementation

For example our extensive experience in Software Engineering guarantees we understand the practical importance to establish accurate, well-formed and tightly controlled requirements

Consequently our consultants ensure RS is paramount to the procurement lifecycle.  The Mosaic Requirements Elicitation, Capture & Specification (RECS) exercise provides client managers with confidence and traceability to state, in plain English ‘what was delivered met requirements and those requirements achieved the original business objectives’

In practise the Mosaic RECS exercise must be conducted early, properly and govern subsequent procurement stages such as contract writing, acceptance procedures and any service level or maintenance agreements

Our procurement staging includes;

Pre-procurement

Proof of Concept (POC) and Feasibility

Scoping and business case formulation

Sourcing and procurement strategy

Market sounding, pre-qualification and evaluation

RECS and Requirements Specification Inspections (RSI)

Invitation to Tender (ITT), short-listing and evaluation

Negotiation, award and contract drafting

Contract management

Post-procurement

Post Implementation Review (PIR)

Re-competition

Typically clients may request independent Requirements Specification Inspections (RSI), Post Implementation Reviews (PIR) and various computer audits to assess post procurement and implementation performance

Furthermore Mosaic may help public sector clients with placement of OJEU advertisements and the formulation and management of Private Finance Initiatives (PFI) and Public/Private Partnerships (PPP)
