HRMS Vendor RFP
Send vendors an RFP they can't bluff their way through.
Everything you need to run a vendor RFP yourself. A structured, AI-tailored RFP document — your modules, your regions, your timeline. Nine sections covering functional requirements, technical & security, implementation, and commercial terms, plus a fixed response taxonomy vendors can't talk around.

R⚠ Knockout triggered — any N on a Critical module eliminates the vendor regardless of composite score.
What's included
Nine sections, built around your organisation
Your context, up front
Company snapshot, scope (in/out modules, phased countries, languages), decision timeline, and weighted evaluation criteria — so vendors see what matters before they respond.
13-module functional requirements
~90 requirement rows across the 13 HRMS modules you select, weighted to your operating model. Critical modules carry a knockout rule: a vendor scoring 1–2 is eliminated regardless of composite score.
Technical, security & commercial
Architecture & API, identity/access/data, compliance & resilience, implementation methodology, and a 3-year TCO template — the requirements vendors hope you won't ask.
Disqualifying signals
A fixed N / C- / C+ / R / N/S response taxonomy, a knockout rule for critical modules, and process, product, and commercial red flags — including ones specific to your context.
How it works
From intake to vendor-ready document
Tell us about your organisation
Headcount, current systems, regions of operation, modules in scope, and your decision timeline. If you've already run a Fit Engine assessment, we can pre-fill from your existing requirements.
We build the document
AI generates the requirement rows, applies your module selections, and adds context-specific notes. You review and adjust before it goes to vendors.
Send it to vendors, score the responses
Every requirement uses the same five-point response code, so vendor answers compare cleanly side-by-side against the evaluation criteria you shared with them.
Module taxonomy
13 modules, weighted to your reality
Select the modules relevant to your evaluation — the rest re-weight automatically. Critical modules carry a knockout rule: a vendor scoring 1–2 on any of them is eliminated regardless of composite score.

FAQ
Common questions.
How much does RFP Pack cost?
$149 one-time. Payment is manual — we send a payment link within 24 hours of your order.
What's included in the RFP document?
Nine sections: your company snapshot and scope, ~90 functional requirement rows across 13 HRMS modules weighted to your context, technical & security requirements, implementation methodology, a 3-year TCO template, and a fixed response taxonomy with knockout rules and red flags.
How does AI tailor the RFP to our organisation?
AI maps your context — headcount, current systems, regions, modules in scope, and timeline — onto the 13-module taxonomy, sets module weights to reflect your priorities, and adds notes on what to emphasize for your specific scope.
Can vendors give vague answers to this RFP?
No. Every requirement uses a fixed five-point response code (N / C- / C+ / R / N/S), so vendor answers compare cleanly side-by-side. A knockout rule eliminates any vendor scoring 1–2 on a critical module, regardless of composite score.
Can I reuse my Fit Engine requirements?
Yes. If you've run a Fit Engine assessment, we can pre-fill your RFP Pack intake from your existing requirements.
