Documented Quote: Contract Pricing Analysis/Market Research Services

The State of Colorado Governor's Office of Information Technology (OIT) is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to provide specialized contract pricing analysis and market research services. The purpose of this engagement is to assist OIT with preparation for, and support of, price negotiations with existing contractors. The selected consultant will provide contract pricing analysis services to OIT on an ad-hoc, success-based payment structure under a Main Task Order Contract (MTOK). The MTOK length would be for one year with four additional option years. Key services include market research, negotiation talking points, and cost savings estimates. • The consultant's primary role is advisory and supportive, with OIT personnel directly involved in negotiation sessions. • The consultant may participate in the evaluation process for solicitations to assist with securing advantageous pricing. • The consultant must recuse themselves from accepting an engagement if they have any percentage of ownership or direct business dealings with the firm quoting goods and services to OIT. • The consultant must execute and adhere to the terms of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for each engagement. • Payment is contingent upon a successful negotiation and the execution of the renewal agreement with the vendor.
