Project sourcing guide

Frame a requirement companies can assess.

A useful project enquiry gives potential companies a common basis for understanding scope and preparing a response. Start with the decision the project team needs to make.

  1. Define the scope. Describe the package objective, scope boundaries and relevant interfaces.
  2. Set participation expectations. Identify the qualifications, capability evidence and regional support your team needs to review.
  3. Explain the response basis. Make documents, delivery expectations, exclusions and commercial assumptions clear.
  4. Keep clarification consistent. Ensure material scope updates are understood across the enquiry.
  5. Review in context. Compare technical alignment, delivery and commercial qualifications alongside the price.

Company readiness guide

Make capability visible and relevant.

A company profile should help a prospective buyer decide whether a further conversation is useful. A focused explanation of scope and support is more helpful than a broad list of unrelated claims.

  1. Describe the capability. Explain the systems, services or project requirements the company can support.
  2. Provide assessable evidence. Clarify the scope and validity of qualification documents and experience statements.
  3. Explain regional support. Describe where the company can support enquiries and what needs project-specific confirmation.
  4. Prepare a clear commercial contact. Make the next enquiry easy to direct to the right company team.

Business intelligence guide

Use AI context with a clear review process.

Business intelligence is most useful when it addresses a defined question and makes the evidence behind the response understandable. A polished answer still needs a company’s judgement.

  1. Frame the question. Define the project, market or business decision being researched.
  2. Review the source context. Check relevance, timing and what the source actually supports.
  3. Separate facts from assumptions. Identify what is known and what requires further investigation.
  4. Assess company fit. Consider capabilities, qualifications and regional support before pursuing an opportunity.
  5. Prepare a human next step. Use the research to support a conversation or review, rather than an automatic commercial commitment.
