ProcureTech facilitates the scouting and selection process by collecting vendor information, performing pre-selection checks, and advising the client on past experience where available.
Applications will be confirmed by an automated email confirming your participation. You should expect to hear back no earlier than 10 working days after the close of the deadline. Once all applications have been received ProcureTech will review entries and provide the client with a ‘longlist’ of vendor applications that they can review for selection.
A shortlist of vendors will be selected based upon best fit to solve the challenge and will be invited to attend a presentation day so the solutions can be presented and demoed to the client.
Your company, if selected, along with a shortlist of other vendors will pitch and demo your solutions to the client. From here the client will make the final selection.
If you pass the selection for the presentation day your solution will be on a shortlist of other vendors. A limited number will participate but the exact figure depends on suitability and the brief.
Where possible it is our intention to provide feedback to unsuccessful vendors.
