The Request for Proposal
The Digital Beauty Contest is a competitive and comparative procedure: the company chooses some professional firms and invites them to provide their offer for professional assistance or to submit their application to access the so-called “panel” of the company’s fiduciaries. The professional firms then create their offers and submit their applications, detailing their qualities and their costs. After the analysis of the offers and possible one-to-one meetings, the company decides the firm to engage, or which firms they want to be accredited to the panel.
The Digital Beauty Contest begins when the company fills in a standard online form named “Request for Proposal”, stating all the essential info about the task to perform/the requirements to be accredited in the panel: what the task is about, skills and previous experience required and the team specifically selected for assistance, the firm organization/participation in networks nationally or internationally spread, terms of the economic offer to be received and other useful elements. The filling of the form usually takes only a few minutes.
The Invitation
The company itself identifies the professional firms to invite at its Digital Beauty Contest and has the possibility to ask 4cLegal to operate some market search beforehand. To invite a law firm to a Digital Beauty Contest, the company simply has to click on the name of that firm, and has the possibility to identify – whenever useful – the professional to whom the invitation is addressed specifically. Except for special cases, the company can involve up to six firms in its Digital Beauty Contest, as a guarantee that the procedure undergone by the offices is a competition, not a survey. Up to now, on our platform there are almost 500 professional offices to choose from.
The Offers
The invited firm downloads the Request for Proposal in PDF, expresses potential requests for clarification and obtains the answers of the case (Q&A), then submits its offer for professional assistance or its application to enter the panel of the company’s fiduciaries by the deadline for the Digital Beauty Contest conclusion, which is set by the company. In this case as well, the offer is set by the firm using a standard format (similar to the one used for the Request for Proposal). The offer will include all the skills, experiences, organisation and economical details that the law firm believes to be useful to meet the requirements and the aims of the company. It is crucial to fill in the offer in a clear, accurate and personal way.
The Choice
Thanks to the comparative files in Excel and PDF automatically created by the platform, comparing the offers received becomes really easy. The company will not waste any time in building resuming reports and can concentrate exclusively on the analysis and the evaluation of the offers received – which it can do in full independence. To guarantee transparency and correctness during the process, the offers from the firms cannot be seen before the expiration of the deadline of the Digital Beauty Contest, set by the company. After all the necessary thoughts – and often, after personally meeting the firms that forwarded the best offers – the firm is prompted to send detailed feedbacks to the firms that took part in the Digital Beauty Contest: this is an opportunity that prepares all the forms to face future competitions with better presentations.
