Business & Commercial

Spend on IT demands comprehensive lifecycle support; from supply chain strategy, through procurement and contract award, into ongoing supplier management. Finyx’s capability has evolved from our participation in numerous technology sourcing projects, ranging from the selection of a single outsource provider, through to establishing complex multi-supplier ecosystems and bespoke procurement frameworks. We help our clients design their supply-chain, run competitive procurements, negotiate contracts, track supplier performance and manage costs.

“This is an exciting time in the Metropolitan Police Service as Digital Policing embarks on the final stage of its move to a new way of working… This new framework will enable the MPS to significantly reduce the time it takes to complete a competitive tender.”

-Angus McCallum, CIO Digital Policing

Business Case Development Toolkit

Developed over many years of authoring business cases for our clients, our extensive business case toolkit contains templates, tools and data to support the creation of programme and project business cases for both our private and public sectors clients. Our economic appraisal model is supported by a library of investment objectives, critical success factors, benefits and risks that rapidly accelerate creation of your spending proposal.

Should Cost Model

Our internally developed should cost model allows for the capture and analysis of assumptions, costs, risks, and benefits across multiple potential solution options. It provides clear and auditable financial projections for use in the creation of business cases, procurement exercises, project initiation documents etc.

Solution Requirements Framework

The ‘SRF’ provides a rigorous methodology for gathering and presenting requirements to support procurements and the drafting of contracts. The framework includes linked artefacts (service register, service criticality classes etc.) that are used to capture and organise requirements in a structured way. Use of the SRF greatly improves the bidder experience and can reduce the end-to-end procurement timeframe.

Procurement Kickstarter

By supporting our clients through numerous procurements we have developed a comprehensive library of artefacts for use at each stage in the process. We have compiled a full set of high quality templates and data that includes route-to-market assessment tools, standard tender questions, evaluation criteria, scoring models, bidder scoresheets, and plans and reports to communicate status.

Supplier Performance Framework

The ‘SPF’ is a clearly articulated and comprehensive performance management methodology that can be applied to a single supplier contract or a multi-supplier ecosystem. At its core, the SPF includes an extensive library of KPIs aligned to standard technology services, that can be tailored to meet individual client needs.

Supplier Playbooks

Finyx have compiled a comprehensive set of pricing data based on standard technology roles. This allows us to assist our clients to validate that they are receiving value for money from their technology suppliers by analysing how supplier charges (either actual or proposed) compare to industry standards.
