AI Vendor Evaluation & Procurement Consultation — RFP Support

I will support your AI vendor evaluation and procurement process — covering requirements definition, an evaluation scoring framework, vendor due diligence questions specific to AI products (data handling, model transparency, and liability), comparative analysis of your shortlisted vendors, and a final recommendation with negotiation points to raise before signing. AI vendor procurement requires different due diligence questions than conventional software procurement; understanding what data the vendor's model is trained on, how outputs are validated, and what liability the vendor accepts for AI errors are AI-specific questions that a standard software procurement checklist does not cover.

The consultation covers a requirements specification document, an evaluation framework with weighted scoring criteria, an AI-specific due diligence question set for your shortlisted vendors, a comparative analysis report, and a final recommendation with negotiation leverage points identified from the comparative analysis.

Designed for businesses running a formal vendor selection process for an AI product or platform who want expert support ensuring the right questions are asked and the right vendor is selected.
