Questions for your evaluation

How does a search become a qualified supplier shortlist?

Use your own specification. Compare search inputs, qualification evidence, data freshness and the handoff into sourcing.

What happens after suppliers respond?

Ask how responses, quotes and exceptions are compared, and who approves the next step.

How will this work with your existing systems?

Confirm the required data, supported connectors, permissions and ownership of implementation.

What would a useful pilot prove?

Use the same real procurement example, success criteria and approval boundaries with each vendor.
