With tools designed for in-app collaboration and industry insights, Bonfire RFP software empowers procurement to play a critical strategic role in assembling the right people to make value-added contributions to your agency.
Bonfire makes it easy for procurement to engage stakeholders at the right moments throughout the RFP process, giving them the tools to do their work quickly, then get back to their day jobs.
Capture your existing approvals process in Bonfire for consolidated visibility, turnkey compliance, and efficient approver engagement. With a fully integrated internal process, everyone is on the same page and projects can run on time—making both procurement and your stakeholders happy.
Group together different stakeholders involved in your RFP to control document visibility and make evaluations as simple as possible. Then, give them a centralized place to review and score proposals, be notified about deadlines, and complete evaluations on time from anywhere with an Internet connection.
Simplify the scoring experience and eliminate errors with digital scorecards that capture scores, comments, and notes. Scorecards are one click away and only populate criteria relevant to the reviewer, eliminating confusion on what to score and how to score it.
To efficiently evaluate larger amounts of data like price lists or question-sets, Bonfire has advanced purpose-built evaluation tools that help your stakeholders review complex information and confidently add their scores.
Use templates to effortlessly collect and aggregate vendor data for side-by-side comparison and auto-scoring.
Easily filter supplier data and rank price, sort items into baskets, and perform what-if analyses to optimize vendor selection.
Create parent and child projects to distribute decisions and make multiple awards across separate locations or categories.
Run reverse auctions online to encourage competition between a shortlisted group of vendors—no vendor training required.
Procurement experts widely agree that most complex RFP delays and missteps can be traced back to poor project planning. Use the Bonfire Intake module to collect requests, then use built-in approvals workflows and communication tools to plan requirements, document approvals, and align on timing and budget.
