RFP and Vendor Selection Expertise with FORGE

Tailoring Solutions for Optimal Contracting Decisions

Identifying and securing the best solution tailored to your specific needs is at the core of what we do. FORGE specializes in managing the entire sourcing process including negotiating terms to ensure you make the most advantageous and defensible contracting decisions.

Ensuring Your RFP Management is Beyond Reproach

Discovering, months or even years into a service agreement, that you’ve made a less-than-ideal contract decision can be a significant setback. You might find yourself paying for underutilized services, lacking essential services, or missing out on discounts and promotions that could have reduced your expenses. Even more critically, an indefensible decision could have far-reaching consequences.

FORGE is adept at preventing these scenarios. Our track record includes executing some of the industry’s largest RFPs, spanning network, cloud, mobile, data center, managed services, and contact center solutions. Annually, we manage thousands of contracts for hundreds of organizations, typically achieving savings of 30% or more for our clients—at no additional cost to them.
