Developers, ranging from large-scale companies to small firms and freelancers, each carry their own merits and challenges. Large companies possess extensive resources and diverse technological capabilities but may be less flexible to adapt to individual client needs. Smaller developers offer more adaptability but may lack necessary skills or resources. Agencies, relying on freelancers, exhibit robust marketing abilities but risk inconsistent technological quality. Engaging directly with freelancers provides a more hands-on approach for clients, but requires significant managerial and engineering understanding to lead the project successfully.
How to do that
The selection of a contractor through a public procurement procedure reflects the client’s corporate practices and can take the form of a competition, tender, or alternative process. Employing effective cost reduction strategies, the client can leverage modular requirements as the foundation for a request for proposals, enabling the collection of evaluations from diverse contractors for each specific requirement. Similar to a “Procrustean bed,” modular requirements allow the client to align developer contractors accordingly.
The process of reducing proposal costs entails iterative communication with contractors to address inquiries and acquire the most competitive estimates.
