Further Competition. 9.1 Prior to conducting the Further Competition we advise that you consider the following questions: Have you adequately conducted pre-market engagement? Do you need to form a project team? If so, who is the most appropriate person to lead it? Have you formed a stakeholder group to formulate your requirements? Have you identified specific resource to support the various stages of the project including initial data gathering, drafting of the statement of requirements and bid evaluation, working with the successful supplier to ensure a smooth implementation? Who will approve the award once proposals have been evaluated?
9.2 What Information is required ahead of a further competition? Ahead of a further competition customers should have accurate and up-to date levels of information relating to their card usage and user behaviour in order for suppliers to understand their current situation and to accurately respond to the further competition. The suppliers will also need to understand your ‘future’ requirements in order to respond effectively. As a minimum this should/could include: Number of cards currently in operation/required in the future (estimation); Geographical nature of the requirement; Restrictions to be placed on cards; Number of users; Type and level and frequency of management information required; Current spend/Future spend (estimation)
