 ENTECH's Proposal Review Service is designed to help your nonprofit organization get the most bang for your technology buck. If you are planning on a network upgrade, Web site development or any technology project, this service is right for you.
We will work with you to define your technology project outcomes instead of the implementing consultant . ENTECH consultants create detailed specifications for your technology project from an independant, non-vested perspective.
After creating the specifications, we will create a Request for Proposal (RFP) document with all of the technical jargon and detail necessary for consultants to prepare competitive bids.
Competitive bidding means lower costs and increased innovation.
During the Proposal Review Service, ENTECH will:
- ...meet with you to create a Request for Proposal (RFP)
- ...draft the RFP for your review
- ...send the final RFP to our lists of local technology consultants with nonprofit experience
- ...be present during follow-up interviews with potential consultants
- ...suggest final alterations to the winning proposal
- ...provide materials for working with the winning consultant
All of these services are designed to make your nonprofit technology project a successful one.
Why is this independent review important?
- Nonprofit organizations often depend on the advice of a consultant or vendor who may have an economic stake in a particular solution.
- Consultants are often unaware of discount opportunities available specifically to nonprofits that can drastically reduce costs.
- Overly high-tech approaches, communication barriers, inflexible pricing schemes and rigid product packages remove the ability from the organization to make an informed, cost-effective decision.
ENTECH's Proposal Review service is designed to suggest alterations to technology proposals based on the following criteria such as the following:
- Does the project have a positive impact on the organization's mission?
- Does the proposal make use of discounts available to nonprofit organizations?
- Are there alternative approaches to the consultant's recommendations that may be more appropriate or cost-effective?
- Do sustainability factors represent an ample portion of the overall resources allocated to the project?
- And more.
 This service is partially subsidized by ENTECH's sponsors. Proposal Review Service fees are charged according to a sliding scale.
