Example User - Dublin Maternity Hospital Group

Founded in 1894, the Dublin Maternity Hospital Group comprises three hospitals; The National Maternity Hospital Holles Street, The Rotunda and The Coombe. Joint tendering arrangements operating between the three hospitals achieve greater value for money in the market place.

Business Challenge

To create a system which would comprehensively manage the procurement of goods and services - a tendering and analysis solution that would break down complex tenders and present best pricing and best suppliers.

Product Summary

The "Tender Manager" solution initially supports the generation of Requests for Tender for products or services as required. Returned supplier RFPs are automatically entered into and processed in the database which logs each individual product or service, price, supplier, current unit of measure, etc. as well as historical information.

The solution then analyses all of the bids and quotations received and provides a comparative analysis, giving instant access to actual cost variances and percentage variances. This makes supplier evaluation a simple procedure.
