Invitation to Tender Process

​

It is essential to get the right balance of clearly defined requirements without over complicating the process. A combination of business analysis to understand the organisation's requirements along with our templated process and documentation will ensure a robust tender exercise.

Shortlist Process

 

Having analysed the responses from interested vendors, it is usual to decide on a manageable shortlist. These vendors will be invited to present their solutions in a series of user targeted workshops.

​

Each presentation is scored alongside the response to tender documentation resulting in a shortlist of two.

Change Management & Post Rollout Support 

​

Change Management is one of the most critical and yet underestimated elements of a core business system implementation. For more details of our Change Management consultancy click here 

​

Post rollout support is critical. Most firms have well embedded support processes that typically involve a form of help-desk usually run by IT. Do not assume that the existing arrangement will adequately cope with the proposed system change. Floor walking, catch up training and access to SME's (subject matter experts) will all be considered and planned for.

Case Study

​

In 2017 Gateley PLC, a top 20 law firm, engaged 2twenty4 Consulting to assist initiated a project to replace its end of life Practice Management System. This was a complex project as over the years the core financial system had been added to with 30+ in house 'modules' to provide much needed functionality in Marketing, HR and Case Management.

​

The firm saw this as an opportunity to select not only a replacement for the finance system but a strategic statement with a focus on cloud adoption, efficiency, service, value and client engagement.

​

The tender process took around 9 months before the right solution at the right price could be presented to the Senior Operational Board.
