This section describes the business process requirements for the State’s Source Selection process. The goal is to provide the necessary tools within the SCEIS solution to provide efficient and timely processes for selecting the appropriate procurement method and selecting vendors to do business with the State. The SCEIS solution will provide an integrated solution to automate the process of taking a requisition through the procurement cycle. The SCEIS solution will provide the State the ability to take the existing source selection process that is manual and cumbersome in today’s environment and replace it with an automated paperless system. The SCEIS solution will give the State the ability to have a centralized view of all the State’s vendor activity at one time. Process Definition Overview For the purposes of this documentation, the SCEIS team and agency representatives reviewed the South Carolina Procurement Code and identified the criteria used for sourcing materials/services and bid solicitations. Methods of Source Selection can be made utilizing the following sourcing sub-processes: • • • • • • • • • • • Agency Warehouse State Warehouse Statewide, Term or Agency Contract Multi-Agency Contract Exemptions Sole Source Emergency Inter Agency Auction Reverse Auction Solicitation
Request for Quotation (RFQ) Competitive Sealed Bids Competitive Best Value Bids Competitive Fixed Price Bids Competitive Sealed Proposals (RFP) Small Purchases
Process Flows A Request for Quote (RFQ) in the SCEIS solution is an invitation to vendors to bid on the required service and or materials. An RFQ contains the materials and services, quantities and delivery dates, so that the suppliers can provide their prices and a vendor or multiple vendors can be selected. If a vendor is blocked, the SCEIS solution will disallow issuance of an RFQ. In the case of emergency purchase orders, no requisitions or RFQ’s are required. The Invitation to Bid process starts with the buyer and or purchasing agent running a report on outstanding/open requisition(s) that need to be sourced. The buyer will then assign a source of supply. If the source of supply is already pre-determined (existing contract, fixed source, etc), the buyer will proceed with the creation of the contract or purchase order as applicable. For all those requisitions where multiple sources are available and the expected value exceeds $5,000, a RFQ will be created in the system with reference to the requisition. For all those items under $5,000, the buyer will search for a source of supply in the system and then generate a purchase order or contract as needed, but must document 3 phone-quotes within the purchase order for those greater than $1,500. On the RFQ, all the additional information that is needed is maintained before sending it to the vendors (specifications, special requirements, bid due date, etc). Once the RFQ is finished, it is sent to the vendors according to the output method specified on the vendor master. The responses are received back from the vendors and the prices and conditions are entered into the system as a quotation. Once all the quotations are maintained, the price comparison function is performed with quotes listed from lowest to highest in a report that will act as the tab sheet. The prices are compared and vendor preferences are calculated. These preferences are weighted based on the preference (i.e., South Carolina or Recycling Vendor). Once the preferences have been factored, the buyer determines the awarded vendor or multiple vendors per line item or for the entire quote.
