17. About Jos de Weerdt 17
27 years in IT, the majority of which in IT
maintenance organizations.
Responsible for the Business Information
Management team in the IT Managed
Services division of Ordina
MEAT is usually based on a figure which is the result of calculations where questions or subjects have a ‘weight’ and answers from suppliers get rated.
Usually the ‘weight’ of the ‘financial’ paragraph is chosen so that less than 50% of the total attainable points can be gained by ‘offering the best / lowest price’.
So we, and the other contesters start answering the questionnaire and put in our offerings.
And then you find out that the way you devised your questionnaire resulted in a fairly similar score on the ‘non financial’ subjects.
All contesters think they score a lot of A’s, even some A+’s and the occasional B+. We don’t want to exaggerate.
But in this scenario, given equal quality: price turns out to be the only factor which makes you gain this tender.
Being able to offer a winning price starts with a good and reliable estimation of the (labour) cost incurred for this contract.
Spending 5% less time in the ‘fixed part’ of a contract is directly visible in the ‘bottom line’.performance of this contract.
About 40% of the calls are logged manually.
An Incident is closed because the issue, which generated it, has been resolved, but the officers needs to finalize the related administration and needs the time spent recorded on the incident at some time after the closure of the call
Except when recording leads to overtime beneifts and standby remunerations
