RFP Support in Truro
Running a tender properly for Truro organisations, where the questions you ask determine the answers you can compare. A requirements list assembled from vendor websites produces identical responses from every bidder — everybody confirms they can do everything, and the evaluation comes down to price and presentation.
Why this comes up
The problem
Every response says yes to all two hundred requirements, and there is no basis on which to choose between them.
What you get
What we deliver
- Requirements written as outcomes and scenarios rather than as feature checkboxes
- Evaluation criteria and weightings agreed before responses are received
- Questions that force differentiation, including how a supplier handles failure
- Commercial questions structured so costs can genuinely be compared
- A process that meets procurement rules where the organisation is subject to them
- Scoring recorded with reasoning, since an unsuccessful bidder may ask

RFP Support in Truro — common questions
- Why do feature lists fail?
- Because they invite a yes. Any capable vendor will confirm a feature exists in some form, so a list of two hundred confirmations distinguishes nobody — whereas asking how a supplier would handle a described situation produces answers that differ visibly in quality.
- When should criteria be agreed?
- Before anything is issued, and certainly before responses arrive. Weightings decided after reading submissions tend to reflect the response somebody already preferred, which is both a poor decision process and difficult to defend if the award is challenged.
- What questions produce differentiation?
- Ones about difficulty. How they handled a failed implementation, what happens when a deadline slips, how support escalates at two in the morning and what their last three customers found hardest all produce answers that separate suppliers rather than confirming a specification.
- Does the process differ in the public sector?
- Substantially, and the rules constrain both the process and the ability to change course. Published criteria, treatment of bidders and record-keeping all matter, and an award that departs from the stated basis is challengeable — so the structure is set at the start rather than adjusted later.
- Do you work with businesses across Cornwall?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Truro and the surrounding Cornwall area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Truro businesses do you usually work with?
- Tourism and hospitality systems that absorb a summer surge, delivered remotely because on-site visits are a day out. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Hospitality, Retail, Healthcare, Agriculture and Marine.
- Do you cover the areas around Truro?
- Yes — we work throughout South West, including Plymouth, Exeter. Truro is an urban area of roughly 19,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cornwall region rather than the city boundary alone.
