The WorkOasis Service Procurement application is a powerful tool for bidding, evaluating, and awarding service and/or project work using a proprietary, web-based workflow. Most procurement systems are limited in their ability to handle service-type contracts due to site specific requirements, sheer size of the vendor base, and a relatively small transaction size.
WorkOasis provides you with a tool for creating and managing service-related request for proposals (RFP’s) electronically, linking to your database of vendors. This application is typically used for procuring recurring services, small projects, and request for quotes on service work that surpass not to exceed (NTE) thresholds.
Use of a web-based workflow allows you to shorten the time it takes to receive bid responses, therefore, enabling you to bid more work. The application workflow includes the following:
- Ability to create an RFP document with terms, conditions, and attachments
- Ability to select and invite bidders to respond
- Ability to have bidders update responses online
- Ability to view and award work
- Ability to archive all responses and documents for future reference
Use of the Service Procurement application allows you to more efficiently procure services, improve response time, and provide complete documentation of the bidding process.
