Every step of the sourcing process — from supplier identification through award documentation — managed in one platform your entire team can work from.
Procurement VMS guides your team through a repeatable, auditable sourcing process that gets better with every event.
Strategic sourcing doesn't happen in isolation. See how it integrates with the rest of the Procurement VMS platform for a truly connected procurement operation.
Procurement VMS supports the full range of sourcing event types: RFP (Request for Proposal), RFQ (Request for Quote), RFI (Request for Information), reverse auctions, eAuctions, sealed bid events, sole source justifications, and catalog sourcing. Each event type has purpose-built templates and workflows designed for how those specific events actually run in practice.
Suppliers invited to a sourcing event receive a secure, direct link to participate without needing to navigate a registration process. For ongoing supplier relationships, the self-service vendor portal in Procurement VMS gives suppliers a permanent home to manage their profile, documents, and active sourcing invitations in one place.
When you design your RFP, you define evaluation criteria — price, technical capability, implementation timeline, references, financial stability, and any custom factors relevant to your category — and assign percentage weights to each. As evaluators score individual criteria, Procurement VMS calculates weighted composite scores automatically and displays a ranked comparison across all bidders. You control the methodology; the platform does the math.
Yes. Every action taken in a sourcing event — supplier invitations sent, bid submissions received, evaluator scores entered, Q&A exchanges, approval actions, and the final award decision — is logged with user identity and timestamp in an immutable audit trail. This documentation is exportable for internal compliance reviews, external audits, or regulatory inquiries.
