Streamline strategic sourcing and automate service contracting
For estimators and contract managers
Soliciting consultant service projects can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. You must break down complex work structures, select prospective consultants using best-value methods, and negotiate with selected vendors to create consultant contracts.
What if all of this could be automated using a modern, cloud-based solution? What if you could manage all your contracts in one system, streamlining the project contractor-selection process, enabling online negotiations and automating the award process?
Aurigo’s Consultant Service Contracting product helps you implement and manage an agency-wide strategic sourcing and e-contracting program. Customers like the Wisconsin Department of Transportation use Aurigo’s Consultant Service Contracting product to centrally manage all the repeated services that are required across their complex mix of projects. Using Aurigo simplifies the process to appropriately scope complex service needs, run a transparent solicitation process, negotiate online with the selected consultant, define and manage all contract details, and initiate and authorize work orders.
