3. Provide clear Scope, Schedule, and Deliverables

Clearly define the scope, schedule, and deliverables for your project. It is recommended that you give service providers as much information as you can in order to allow them to submit realistic proposals with reasonable rates.

4. Evaluate Proposals

Evaluate service providers' proposals against your evaluation criteria. An evaluation criterion is a measure that you will use to evaluate proposals, e.g., experience in similar projects, approach and methodology, price, etc. Always find the key differentiators between all competitive proposals. Feel free to ask them any questions to learn more about them. One of the important questions can be about what kind of support will be available during and after the project is finished.

5. Review Portfolios/Sample Work and Feedback from Previous Clients

Short-list the service providers whose proposals satisfy your evaluation criteria (cost, approach, etc). Check their references and get feedback from their clients. View their samples and completed projects or portfolios to understand their quality standards and work capability. Do not choose a service provider based solely on price: you need to take overall quality apart from price into consideration.

6. Choose a Service Provider

Finally, compare the competitive bids to make the right decision.

What next after you have chosen a Service Provider
