Procurement Do s and Don ts Through the eyes of a former State procurement official Tips and Recommendations 8
Bidder Conferences Bidders Conferences that don t provide any more details than are in the RFP are often a waste of time/money Most vendors don t want to share their strategy with competitors so won t ask questions in an open meeting Give enough time between issuance date and bidder conference for vendors to read/digest the RFP and submit questions that you can answer in the conference 9
Leveraging Another Jurisdiction s RFP Not Necessarily the Best Idea Don t just copy/paste assess each requirement and understand its impact Know what you need vs. what the other jurisdiction needed Too easy to end up with conflicting or mutuallyexclusive requirements Understand the technology advancements that may have occurred since the original RFP was written 10
Inability to Answer Questions in a Timely & Comprehensive Manner Hurts the State Answer questions as soon as possible Don t just point the vendors back to the requirement that they questioned in the first place Avoid answering vendor questions with unknown or we ll provide that information to the winning vendor Consider two Q/A periods initial Q/A period and then an opportunity for follow-up Q/A 11
Ambiguity & Assumptions = Risk = Avoid using the infamous The new system must do everything the old system does requirement Provide details that would help the vendors scope the effort As much as possible, commit the state to tasks that should really be or make sense to be the state s responsibilities dedicated project team members data cleansing responsibilities business process training timely deliverable reviews 12
Hidden or Unsuspecting Cost Drivers Terms and Conditions Unlimited Liability Payment Hold Back Performance Bond Liquidated Damages Most Favored Nation Free warranty for two years after project complete Excessive MBE Requirements On-site Resource Requirements Ambiguity creates assumptions and increased cost 13
Why do companies No-Bid? 1. Lack of Communication - No end user discussion, no bidders library 2. Existing incumbent advantage - analyze closely to determine if it is open and competitive (perception) 3. Surprise RFP, with short timeline to respond (<30 days) 4. Past performance requirements that are too specific to what the incumbent is performing 5. Little or no transition time allowed or excessive weight on score for risk of transition 14

Introducing the Cloud
Understanding Cloud Computing There are several definitions of Cloud Computing. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides the following definition: Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. Cloud computing has five essential characteristics: On-demand self-service: Get it when you need it Measured service: Pay for what you use Rapid elasticity: Increase and decrease capacity quickly Broad network access: Access it from any Internet connection Resource pooling: Share fixed costs, which lowers individual costs 2011 KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U.S. member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ( KPMG International ), a Swiss entity.

Cloud Understanding the Cloud What is Cloud? Internet-based data access and exchange Internet-based access to low-cost computing and business applications An IT capability delivered via the Internet (services, data, software, or hardware) A platform shift from self provisioned and maintained to virtualized utility consumption How will Cloud impact businesses? Cloud is about Business Transformation: Changes the way people work and how companies operate Provides new options for virtualized business models with significant benefits: Increased speed to market Improve working capital Reduce capital expenditures, cost of goods sold, and SG&A Importance to CTA Cloud will likely drive significant business transformation over the next decade. Cloud will provide a new set of challenges: Security, Privacy, Data Integration, Business Transformation, Human Factor, Regulations, Taxation, etc. Cloud Strategy and PMO should be established 2011 KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U.S. member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ( KPMG International ), a Swiss entity.

Procurement Overview What, Why, Who? Procurement is Huge! Top 20 FY 2010 federal contracts estimated at a combined $180 Billion State and local government procurement is hundreds of billions annually Why does Government Run Formal Procurements? To ensure transparency when spending tax dollars To obtain the best possible solution and value (not necessarily lowest cost) Who are the stake-holders? Government Fed/State/Control Agencies/County/City/Muni/Consortia/etc. Primary Vendors Secondary Vendors Tax Payers Executives & Politicians Page 4
Procurement Overview- Limiting the field / Managing the Procurement Sole-Source Pros Quick and select proven vendor partner, can be cost and time effective (at least the procurement) Cons Difficult to get approved as open to fraud and abuse, can be costly, can generate unwelcome scrutiny Closed Procurement Required Pre-Bid Master Agreement / Blanket Pros Limits competition to pre-qualified vendors, can be more efficient (time/cost), fewer protests, well understood T s and C s, may be lower risk Cons No Blanket/No Bid, investment in bidding the master agreement Typically smaller contract value Open Procurement No Required Master Agreement / Blanket Pros Everyone is open to bid, no up front master agreement expense Cons Unknown bidder pool, typically less efficient (time/cost), may be higher risk Typically larger contract value Page 5
Procurement Overview- Financing Options Time and Materials Pros Low risk, consistent payment stream for vendor so no risk factor in pricing Cons First on the budget chopping block, difficult to manage to a budget, cost over-runs Fixed Price / Deliverables Based Pros Pre-determined cost Cons Vague or changing requirements lead to change orders Page 6
Procurement Overview- Getting the right solution Traditional Pros Designed to be time and cost effective, straight forward evaluation of proposals Cons Need to define complete requirements, constrain potential solutions Solutions Based Pros Designed to be time and cost effective, potential for use of proven approach or innovative approach, obtain industry ideas and innovative solutions Cons May need business process re-design, may require non-standard approach, potential for vendor lock-in Bake-Off Pros Increased likelihood of project success / business alignment Cons Higher cost, extended timeline Page 7
Procurement Reform- A vendors dream! Open Communication Be clear about any hard constraints especially budget Communicate unknowns Be open about incumbent other vendors may still bid Scope the procurement process and documents to the engagements Use the experience of an outside vendor Consider additional vendor support, PM, IV&V, QA will require separate procurements Avoid being prescriptive on solution but do be specific on requirements where possible. Avoid future requirements that are vague Iterative communication with vendors throughout procurement allows vendors and customer to narrow in on best solution Evaluation scoring as simple as possible Page 8
Procurement Reform- A vendors dream! Evaluation criteria have to be tailored to the type of engagement and weighted / prioritizes according to organizations key success factors. The Solution Fit to the organization / acceptance Feasibility and risks The Company Reputation, viability, stability and track record Experience with similar projects (scope, subject area / domain, technologies and culture) The People Methodology Cost Page 9
Procurement Reform- A vendors dream! Request for Information (RFI) Host a Vendor fair Work with own State procurement to ensure timeliness of RFP Publish procurement time-table in advance Publish standard Ts and Cs in advance Consideration of due dates Please not December 26 th!!!! Allow detailed debriefs Over communicate before during after Please be realistic Page 10
