Procurement

The Problem
intelligent document processing

The Problem

CIOs, CPOs, and Agency leaders tell us that the single biggest bottleneck in procurement is developing documents. Today, producing complex solicitations has become very much a team sport. It is now common to have 10-50 subject matter experts contributing to a single solicitation. Managing the tasks assigned to contributors is a project management headache. The desktop applications procurement officials typically use do not allow for multiple people to work on the same document at the same time. Also a problem: identifying the exact language, attachments, and exhibits needed for compliance with contracting standards so as to reduce risk.

  • Version control is a nightmare when working with desktop applications and 10-50 contributors to each document
  • Staying up-to-date with regulatory changes is hard and takes extreme vigilance
  • Task management is way too hard
  • Compliance with contracting standards is not a given

Our Solution

Authorium resolves these problems with a highly-configurable solution built around smart templates to capture your jurisdiction’s exact business logic and process flows. Smart templates provide a safe, correct starting point for every solicitation, ensuring compliance and minimizing risk. Real-time collaboration eliminates version control nightmares. Includes: support for multi-user editing, task management, and red-yellow-green reporting and other analytics to identify bottlenecks. We break down silos between departments by surfacing language from historical solicitations for reuse.

Intake & Requisition

Each year, government agency purchasing divisions receive hundreds of purchase orders, contracting, and budget change proposal requests across departments. Monitoring and reporting on the status of all requests can be daunting.

Legacy applications like email, SharePoint, Lotus Notes, and MS Dynamics are decentralized, leaving users to manage across multiple tools. As a result, visibility and reporting become time-consuming and error-prone.

Authorium solves these challenges by providing a centralized intake mechanism for purchasing divisions to aggregate and gather requests, increasing collaboration and streamlining approval processes for faster time to value.

Document Development

Building competitive procurements is complex and requires many stakeholders and documents. It’s a rigorous and structured process to ensure transparency, fairness, and efficiency.

Authorium simplifies and streamlines this process with Document Builder – the core of the Authorium Document Automation Process solution. Document Builder dramatically accelerates the fundamental procurement, contracts, grants, and budgeting processes, facilitating a faster time to result.

Engineered for remote work and collaboration, Document Builder makes managing hundreds of subject matter experts' contributions easy, ensuring strict compliance, eliminating version control headaches, and incorporating existing business logic and process flows.

Online Submission and Evaluation

Vendor submissions in government procurement can be an intricate and challenging process for government agencies and vendors, directly impacting procurement timelines.

The Authorium online submission portal streamlines the submission process and makes it more efficient. Procurement staff can process submissions more quickly, reduce errors, and improve vendor communication. Vendors gain a more convenient and user-friendly experience, encouraging submission of higher-quality online bids and proposals.

Contract Administration

Contracts are the foundation of business relationships. Effective contract generation:

  • Mitigates risks
  • Maximizes value
  • Ensures compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and organizational policies
  • Clarifies requirements and expectations – ensuring suppliers understand and can meet specific needs


The suite of Authorium collaboration tools facilitates effective communication and coordination amongst all stakeholders to address any issues or concerns that arise during contract creation.

Amendment and renewal flows help summarize and manage changes to the contract while ensuring proper documentation and approvals are obtained. With Authorium, you can create contracts, amendments, and renewals without leaving the platform.

Financial ERP Integration

Unleash the power of our Document Process Automation™ solution with easy integration to mission-critical applications you depend on daily to manage operations.

Integrating a financial ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system into government procurement processes can streamline operations, reducing manual work and increasing efficiency in the procurement lifecycle. Integrating procurement and finance modules in an ERP system allows for greater transparency. Easily track expenses, vendor payments, and budget utilization, while promoting accountability.

Contract Lifecycle Management

Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is the process of managing and optimizing the entire lifecycle of a contract, from its creation and negotiation to execution, performance, and, eventually, expiration or renewal. Authorium’s CLM offers an effective centralized request intake solution, streamlining all contracting processes. The solution consolidates contract requests through a unified employee portal, enabling easy collection and tracking of requests and enhancing operational productivity by offering a single workspace across existing systems.
