Supplier Selection Process
The Art of Sourcing
• RFI/Problem Statement - White Paper
- Structured as a problem statement so as to understand the level of
innovation in the responses and leverage it into our final solution
- RFI supplier list compiled -- ~35 potential partners identified
• Resources used to identify potential service partners:
- Previous bidders, referrals, and clients
- Sourcing Interests Group (SIG)
- Institute of Supply Chain Management (ISM)
- Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA)
- International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP)

Supplier Selection Process
• Collaborative Supplier Working Sessions - Critical to moving beyond
transactional model
- Hold design workshops with short listed providers
- Engagement from day one
- Both parties take ownership in the creation of a successful solution
- Understand what it is like to work with each service provider
- Taste of culture and methodology
- Quality of people delivering the services is key

The review team, including various Service Owners, engaged with
35 suppliers.
• Top supplier questions were:
- “What are the next steps?”
- “When do the current contracts expire?”
• A few queried PwC’s “pain points” but most failed to take the
opportunity to learn more about PwC and some struggled to relate
to PwC’s business needs.
• Many suppliers told us what they thought we wanted to hear.
• Most missed the key goals of the white paper and simply moved
back to the transactional model.
Understanding the Market
15
April 2014“Saddling Up: Moving Beyond Transactional Processes to Harness the Strategic Value of Partnerships”.
16. PwC
• Suppliers (unsurprisingly) tended to accentuate their own strengths
in their own market analysis, including promoting non-core
services.
• There were no ground-breaking bundle combinations as compared
to the bundles PwC had developed.
• PwC model of breaking out the soft services (i.e., hospitality)
appears to be market-leading.

Implementation Options
• Design & Develop as One - Immediately takes over existing
operations while redesigning workplace experience and service
architecture with PwC and later implements a second soft transition
to new paradigm.
- OR –
• Big Bang Effect - Is engaged to work through discovery and design up
front and then proposes a service architecture and cost that is
measured against current baseline spend to satisfy procurement
objectives before taking over workplace experience delivery.

Elements of a Successful Implementation
• Start to build relationship before the contract is signed
• Detailed, agile transition plan - break into phases
• Focus just as much time on building the relationship as you do on the
contract, KPI’s, etc … (in-person contact)
• Spend time outside the office … set dinners, luncheons, social events
to ensure your cultures align and you are both working towards the
same goals
• Communication, communication, communication - before, during
and after the contract is signed!!!!
