AWARD® Execute is the third and core offering from the AWARD® Solution and focuses on that final part of your procurement: the all-important Evaluation and your Reporting.
What is AWARD® Execute?
With AWARD® Execute, you can evaluate your complex procurements in a flexible but structured, robust, and transparent environment. It’s been specifically designed to do so, unlike perceived alternative solutions such as sourcing tools or Excel spreadsheets which aren’t suitable for complex evaluations and put your entire project at risk.
