Different CustomersFederal State/Local Commercial
• RFP requirements are very prescriptive
• Expect strict adherence to RFP requirements
• Response must be compliant to withstand (or lodge) protests
• Often prescribe solution and performance requirements
• RFP requirements may have differing levels of definition
• Often interested in innovation
• RFP expectations may not all be specifically prescribed
• Levels of clarity differ around performance expectations
• RFP requirements may be vague
• Often less prescriptive in response format
• More often expect innovation; therefore, include less prescriptive requirements
• Performance expectations are key

Bid Compliance• Review RFP• Identify requirements
– Visible Thread: Key words/phrases such as should/shall
• Respond to requirements– Visible Thread: Confirm presence of key words in
response• Develop compliance matrix
– Visible Thread: Starter matrix– Add assignments and evaluation factors

After Bid
• From bid team to delivery team– RFP responses are often incorporated as part
of the contract– Visible Thread: Compliance/response matrix
is the foundation for preparing for solution implementation
– Creates a mechanism to ease handoff between teams

Contract• Regardless of level of specificity in the
RFP, all customers expect you to perform!• All customer types issue a contract
– Contract should outline performance expectations
– Define any expectations that weren’t clear– May incorporate RFP response– Visible Thread: Create a compliance matrix
from the contract

Corporate Purchasing
• Future uses: – Purchasing or procurement
• When issuing an RFP and selecting a vendor, a compliance matrix corresponding to RFP requirements can assist in evaluating responses.
– Subcontractor and vendor management• After selection, we keep scorecards of vendor
performance. A matrix developed from the contract is ideal to track performance.

Reviews – Readability Checkpoint
• Build readability assessment into color team reviews– Offer authors early feedback to improve text
• Run Clear Language and Quality analyses– “To-be” state – currently revising our proposal
process

Editing – Final Polishing
• Focus on one voice, tense, and consistency among proposal sections
• Run Clear Language and Quality analyses– Identify “low-hanging fruit,” address, and
move on

Case Study – Proposal A
• Compared clarity scores for original and edited proposal sections
• Sections edited by same person using the Clear Language reports – Long sentences– Average sentence length– Passive language – Readability

Next Steps…• Build readability checkpoints into the
proposal process• Consider that proposal content is often
technical and contains medical terminology– Readability is an even greater challenge —and
likely even more important.– What are OUR goals for readability? – Do we accept lower scores in those page-
constrained, highly-technical sections?

1.5a Goal 1.5a Identify the business processes, operational activities
and systems within the Appeals group with the highest potential for productivity improvement by way of and use of Project 1.5b activities.
MetA/B/DME would agree that these were identified.
1.5a Business Benefits 1.5a Validates and prepares Project 1.5b activities so as to
powerfully initiate productivity gains with particular emphasis on Appeals MRE and MRS staff.
Unmet Preparation to initiate the productivity is not an "apples to apples" comparison so cannot validate the increases to be accurate.
1.5a Provides a high level overview of Appeals' business processes, pain points and strengths.
Met These are pain points we provided them.
1.5a Identifies root causes of major pain points, lower-than-desired productivity, and operational redundancies
Unmet Root causes not identified with this group.
1.5a Sets the foundation for Future State development. Met Recommendations received.
