Hear what the President of NASPO says about this book . . .

 

“Michael Asner's book removes a lot of the RFP process mystery.  It is one of very few RFP books that address the negotiation process.  I refer to Mr. Asner's book often and it is recommended reading for public procurement officers.”

Secret #51 – Effective policies will support your RFP efforts when difficult situations arise. Develop them before they are needed.

 

Chapter 2 of the Handbook deals with this issue. It discusses the elements of an effective policy.

 

Before attempting to evaluate (and improve) your organization's purchasing policy, we should define effectiveness. How are we going to assess a policy? And why is this important?

 

Many organizations believe that an effective policy has seven important characteristics:

 

  • It is reasonable.
  • It is clearly stated.
  • It is available in writing.
  • It is known throughout the organization and by the public.
  • It is consistently applied in all appropriate situations.
  • It is legal.
  • It is accompanied by “how to” guidelines, manuals and directives.

 

Learn how you can reduce the risks by developing a more effective RFP and a better process. Learn about the best practices from more than sixty jurisdictions based on Michael Asner’s 20-years of experience.
