Service Description

Most CRO selections rely on relationships or name recognition. We build a structured process: custom RFI/RFP design, capability-weighted vendor scoring, proposal review and side-by-side bid analysis, and award recommendation with full documentation. The result is a defensible selection decision that protects you internally and extracts maximum value from the competitive process.

Ideal for: Companies issuing their first RFP, programs pivoting CRO mid-study, or organizations that want a competitive benchmark against their preferred provider.

Service Description

Bid defense is where sponsors lose money they didn't know was at risk. We prepare sponsors for bid defense presentations with a line-by-line budget review, rate card benchmarking, and a negotiation strategy built on knowing how CROs price their services — from the inside. We then manage negotiations through execution, including CDA, MSA, and SOW terms.

Common result: 10–20% reduction in contracted cost, materially improved change-order protections, and faster time to execution.

Service Description

Full ownership of your contracts function — without the full-time hire. We manage CDA, MSA, SOW, and Change Order execution across all functions: Clinical, CMC, DMPK, Regulatory, QA, and Medical Affairs. Available as a fractional ongoing engagement or for a defined program or transition period.

Ideal for: Small to mid-size biotechs without a dedicated outsourcing/contracts lead, or larger companies managing temporary capacity gaps.

For Biotech & Biopharma Sponsors

Service Description

The systems behind effective outsourcing don't exist by default — they have to be built. We design and implement the tools your team needs: vendor scoring frameworks, KPI dashboards, RFP/RFI templates, contract trackers, and governance models. Built to your stage, your team size, and your pipeline complexity.

Deliverables include: Customized vendor scoring tool, master contract tracker, RFP template library, and governance playbook.

Service Description

CRO relationships don't manage themselves. We provide ongoing governance support: QBR preparation and facilitation, KPI tracking and interpretation, escalation support, and strategic advisor access for contract decisions. Available monthly or as-needed.

Service Description

We help CROs win more business by improving how they respond to sponsor RFPs. Drawing on deep sponsor-side experience, we strengthen proposal strategy, sponsor alignment, budget narrative, and bid defense positioning — from the perspective of the person reading your proposal.
