Across the United States, leaders from government and higher education are discovering the ways a Statement of Work (SOW) MSP can streamline project management. But the benefits of choosing a proven partner for Statement of Work requisition, release, and fulfillment provides numerous advantages beyond streamlined project management.
Choosing Knowledge Services for SOW initiatives can help every public-sector organization — towns, cities, states, higher education and more — reduce costs and improve overall organizational efficiency. Explore some of the key ways a trusted MSP can reduce your administrative and financial SOW burdens.
How an MSP for Statement of Work Saves Money
Working with a Statement of Work MSP reduces overall project costs for any public-sector organization by ensuring you’re getting the best value for your investment.
Multiple Proposals for Review
A Statement of Work MSP ensures the client receives multiple proposals to their Statement of Work from qualified suppliers and consultants. This plurality of choice gives leaders from government and higher education the ability to review multiple proposals and find a solution that best solves their obstacle or challenge. Not only do proposals from multiple suppliers present multiple possible solutions, but they also come with associated project costs to assist stakeholders’ decision-making.
Best and Final Offer Strategy
Another way your MSP reduces costs associated with Statement of Work projects is by streamlining the entire procurement process, including recording a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) session before the client makes their final selection on a supplier’s proposal. Best and Final Offer notifications ensure the suppliers who respond to a client’s Statement of Work present compelling projects at affordable rates, helping Knowledge Services’ clients find the best solution for their challenges and budgets.
How a Statement of Work MSP Drives Efficiencies
Not only can an MSP help you reduce costs associated with your SOW initiative, but they can make the entire project more efficient and streamlined.
Reducing Procurement Process Time
Working with an MSP enables state and local government as well as centers of higher education to greatly reduce the time and administrative burdens associated with procuring a Statement of Work supplier or consultant.
Knowledge Services has ample experience helping government leaders and higher education stakeholders navigate SOW projects effectively, clearly articulating a client’s needs to the supplier network and then facilitating an efficient, goal-focused procurement process. While the client retains full control over which supplier/consultant is chosen for a Statement of Work, Knowledge Services expedites the entire process. We use our nationwide SOW experience to cut down administrative slowdowns from the process, connecting our clients with qualified responses quickly while ensuring full supplier and consultant compliance.
Effectively Managing Supplier and Consultant Network
One of the chief advantages of working with an MSP like Knowledge Services is the simple fact that an MSP will effectively manage the entire network of suppliers and consultants. Working with Knowledge Services means your organization no longer has to oversee supplier and consultant insurance requirements, licensing, credentials, and other key compliance-related issues. We handle all of those concerns, ensuring each Statement of Work supplier or consultant is fully compliant and cleared to serve the client.
