Retirement plan sponsors have a multitude of recordkeeping vendors from which to choose in assisting them with plan administration, compliance and participant education. Each potential vendor espouses a value proposition, which must be weighed in relationship to the plan’s needs, goals and objectives to determine if that particular vendor is a suitable fit.
While conducting a vendor search may seem burdensome, the benefits associated with the search make it more than worthwhile. By conducting a vendor search, plan sponsors can satisfy certain fiduciary responsibilities and optimize the plan’s benefit to its participants. Moreover, the perceived vendor search burden is significantly eased when a few simple best practices are followed.
In this presentation, we explore the benefits and best practices associated with conducting a vendor search. It concludes with three case studies that demonstrate the positive results and improvements that plan sponsors might expect from a well executed vendor search.

8. ABOUT
The Performance Institute
Called “the leading think tank in performance measurement for government” on OMB’s
ExpectMore.gov, The Performance Institute has been a leader in Performance Management
training and policy since the 2000 administration transition. As part of the Government
Performance Coalition, a group of good government organizations, the Institute worked in
2000 to deliver recommendations to the then new administration on what would become the
President’s Management Agenda.
In 2010, the Institute is leading Innovations in Government: From Transition to Transformation,
or InnoGOV.org, a collection of forums, research and recommendations to bring insight
and transformation to the federal government. The goal of InnoGOV.org is to centralize the
importance of performance, accountability and transparency in government and to disseminate
the leading best practices to government managers.
The Performance Institute has published several research reports regarding performance
management initiatives and trains over 10,000 government managers per year on
performance-based topics. Dedicated to improving citizen services and taxpayer transparency,
the Institute uses a best-practices foundation to deliver the most effective and tested
methodologies for improving performance.
