F.A.C.T.S. Bid Management services have been instrumental in matching our clients' needs and requirements, with the capabilities of the selected Carriers. We do all of the work preparing, disbursing, and analyzing the requests for bids. We then put all of the "facts" together, enabling you to make an informed decision. The program outline is as follows:
F.A.C.T.S. develops and prepares LTL carrier requests for bid forms utilizing information from your company's traffic data. Bid forms are sent to carriers selected by you. Carriers are given approximately six weeks to prepare their proposals, and return bids to F.A.C.T.S.
F.A.C.T.S. analyzes bids and prepares copies of a bid informational booklet on the carriers proposed pricing, service capabilities, financial data, and other useful and important information.
Bid booklets are tendered to you for review.
Meeting with interested parties to review bids, and discuss strategies and format Carrier negotiations.
Schedule, facilitate, monitor, and prepare negotiating points meetings with Carriers selected as finalists.
Final negotiation meeting if needed with selected carriers.
Prepare transportation contracts for selected carriers covering the agreed pricing, and service criteria.
Facilitate contract signing, and monitoring of said contract.
