Differentiate the application of the commercial proposal
When a project is published, the organizations selected (by the algorithms based on shared feedback) receive an e-mail including the access link to the project description.
Potential candidates can apply. But what does it mean to apply?
- To apply online via the form offered by the platform means:
- specify the skills, expertise and technologies available in the organization, capable of responding to the need,
- complete with the methodology used, the prerequisites if there are any,
- And finally, possibly evoke a similar experience related to the use and / or sector of activity.
- To apply does not mean:
- To make an encrypted commercial proposal, including a budget, days, a quantified evaluation.
- Very often, the first exchanges with the potential supplier make it possible to learn the new uses or technological contexts of the market offer, causing it to adjust its expression of need, via exchanges between the project leader and the potential supplier.
- What to remember from the application:
- The application is the first step that allows the project leader to evaluate the skills and experience that will be solved or answered as needed. Then follow the discussion in the platform, which will answer the questions of the project leader and decide together the interest of a meeting, which may lead to the formalization of a commercial proposal.
