Procurement Effort Model

Solicitation volumes

Manual coordination uplift

Overhead added on top of productive hours for status chasing, version control and rebuilding the record by hand.

Cost of effort

Applied to coordination overhead to size the annual savings an automated workflow can recover.

How much staff effort does one RFP cycle take?

Change the volumes on the left and every figure below re-baselines. The model builds hours from the bottom up: each role gets fixed hours per process step plus hours per unit of volume, then a coordination uplift for running the process on email and spreadsheets.

Process structure from PowerPrint® Energy Procurement Architecture (RFPpower). Hour estimates are planning-grade — built from the process architecture and typical LSE solicitation practice, not measured time-study data from any specific utility. Enter your own volumes, compare the output against what your team actually spent, and treat the variance as the diagnostic.  ·  rfppower.com
