Forging a Collective Ask of Supply Chain Control Tower Vendors

This case study details the rigorous process undertaken to select a software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology solution vendor to provide a supply chain control tower platform for the Global Family Planning Visibility and Analytics Network (VAN).

Stakeholders and bidding vendors forged a collective “ask” of technology vendors by working together to review documents as they were developed, formulate questions, share feedback, and develop final system requirements. These requirements were then validated by community endorsers and a steering committee. The rigorous tendering process ultimately led to the selection of a leading technology vendor.
