Adra Tai Cyf (Adra Housing) were facing a pressing challenge with a complex project that required rapid turnaround and precise management. It involved building supplies across seven regional zones in Wales, each comprising approximately 17 lots. The scale and intricacy of this project required a robust solution.
Key Challenges
Complex multi-lot procurement
A significantly large and complex project, with multiple lots and dual evaluation requirements, creating a high-risk, complex procurement.
Spreadsheet limitations
Spreadsheets were unsuitable due to high risk of error and inefficiency, creating a need for a centralised platform to reduce delays and workload.
Need for control and visibility
Clear visibility of progress and status improved control and organisation across a complex process, keeping the team on track.
How Commerce Decisions Supported the Project
Rapid implementation
Set up AWARD® in under two weeks.
Document integration
Integrated all documents from Adra’s e-sourcing tool into AWARD®, ensuring a smooth and consistent evaluation process.
Hands-on support
Provided behind-the-scenes support including document management and system adjustments.
Evaluator enablement
Streamlined evaluator tasks by centralising information, managing access, improving communication, and tracking progress.
Outcomes
“Without AWARD® we would have found it very hard pressed to have completed the project.”
