Our Unique Approach

We Can Provide A Turnkey Solution Or Specialized Expertise, Including The Following:

A Careful Assessment of Your Needs

We offer a thorough review of your office imaging needs that may extend beyond copiers to include multifunctional products, facsimile equipment, printers and the latest software solutions. This process will help you identify any specific requirements that may impact the RFP process and lead to a recommendation of equipment type/program that is right for your business goals.

Development of a Comprehensive RFP Package

We can work with your purchasing department in creating a comprehensive Request for Proposal (RFP) that will specify the right equipment, at the right price, and with the most favorable terms and conditions desirable in any supplier contract.

Managing The RFP Process

To improve efficiency of the process, the Buyers Alliance can be the primary contact point for supplier interfacing throughout the RFP and negotiating stages of the project, at all times acting on behalf of, and with the full knowledge and approval of, our Client.

Evaluation of Supplier Proposal

We can save you valuable time by preparing a series of reports based upon the proposals received, detailing total net proposed costs by each supplier and any deviations from the terms and conditions of the RFP. In these reports, we will make initial hardware, pricing and program recommendations to assist you in your selection of the best equipment and supplier to meet your needs.

Preparing Your Final Agreement

The Buyers Alliance can prepare the final agreement draft based on negotiations with the selected supplier, ensuring all best practices discussed in the RFP package creation stage are retained.

Ongoing Program Support

Throughout the term of the Agreement between the Client and the chosen supplier, the Buyers Alliance can provide a full range of ongoing implementation support services to ensure supplier compliance with all aspects of the negotiated agreement.
