Commercial Services
Welcome to the Commercial service area of Barry J O’Gorman and Associates, where we specialise in guiding businesses through the intricate process of vendor selection and contracting to ensure they gain Business Advantage through Technology (‘BAtT’).
Tailored Solutions and proven expertise
We understand that each business has unique needs and goals. That’s why we offer customised solutions that are specifically tailored to meet the requirements of your organisation. With a wealth of experience behind us, we’ve successfully assisted numerous clients in achieving their objectives through effective vendor selection and contracting.
Strategic Risk Management
At Barry J O’Gorman and Associates, we understand the risks associated with engaging multiple vendors for various aspects of your technology needs, whether it’s process analysis/ redesign, infrastructure or applications. We’ll work closely with you to identify these risks and develop strategies to mitigate them, ensuring seamless interactions and addressing mutual dependencies between vendors.
Fostering Partnerships through this commercial service
We believe that successful vendor relationships are built on partnership and collaboration. That’s why our contract negotiations focus not just on the transactional aspects but also on fostering a spirit of partnership with your vendors. By promoting open communication, shared goals, and mutual trust, we ensure that your vendor relationships are not just transactions but true partnerships that drive your business forward.
Comprehensive Discovery Phase
Our approach begins with a comprehensive discovery phase, where we collaborate closely with your team to understand your business needs and objectives. This phase may include the development of a Request for Information (‘RFI’) document to gather information from potential vendors, followed by the shortlisting of suitable candidates based on predefined criteria.
Preparation of Request for Proposal (‘RFP’)
Once potential vendors have been identified, we assist in the preparation of a detailed Request for Proposal (RFP) document, outlining your project requirements, objectives, and evaluation criteria.
Tendering Process Management
In providing this commercial service we can manage the tendering process on your behalf, ensuring that the RFP is distributed to qualified vendors, responses are received and evaluated, and any clarifications or negotiations are handled efficiently. Alternatively we can advise and support management as they lead the process themselves.
Application of Selection Criteria
Our team will work with you to apply rigorous selection criteria to assess vendor proposals objectively, ensuring that they align with your business goals, technical requirements, and budget constraints.
Tying Back to the Business Case
In order to deliver an effective commercial service, throughout the vendor selection process, we continuously tie back vendor proposals to your original business case, ensuring that selected vendors offer the best value proposition and contribute to the achievement of your strategic objectives.
Contract Negotiation and Finalisation
Once a preferred vendor has been identified, we assist in negotiating contract terms and conditions to ensure that your interests are protected and that the partnership is set up for success. We will work with you and/or your legal advisors as may be required.
Comprehensive Support
Our commitment to your success extends beyond the vendor selection and contracting phase. We offer ongoing support, including contract management assistance and vendor relationship management, to ensure you continue to derive maximum value from your partnerships.
