Sourcing
Run a sourcing event from strategy to award, one step at a time
Intakt walks you through every sourcing event: agree a strategy, send a questionnaire, collect and score the replies, put your finalists head to head and award the winner. Suppliers answer from a private link with no login.

Sound familiar?
- Quotes live in inboxes and nobody can compare them fairly
- Only the procurement team knows what comes next in an RFP
- Suppliers need yet another portal login before they will reply
Negotiation
First price, great price.
Intakt’s price is published and the same for everyone. Your suppliers’ first quotes usually have room in them, so Intakt lines them up side by side, runs another round and shows you where to push.

From strategy to award
Intakt takes you through each stage in turn: agree the plan, ask suppliers, score the replies, negotiate and pick the winner. The request always shows what to do next.
- A strategy drafted for you, with a target price and how replies are judged
- Optional sign-off before any supplier is asked
- Skip a step that does not apply, and bring it back later
Invite several suppliers in one go
Pick from suppliers you already use or ones Intakt suggests, set a reply-by date and send.
- Each supplier gets a private link and needs no account
- They never see your budget or each other's prices
- Replies land on the request as offers
Also included
Supplier suggestions
Intakt looks at the request and your supplier list and suggests who should quote.
Quotes read for you
Upload a supplier’s PDF quote and Intakt reads the lines, prices and terms into an offer.
Side-by-side comparison
Every offer against your target cost and each other, on price, terms and delivery.
Questionnaires and scoring
Send an RFP or RFQ with your questions and documents, then score each reply against weighted criteria, with suggested scores that quote the answers.
Supplier questions
Suppliers ask from their link. Answer just them, or every supplier at once without saying who asked.
A deadline that holds
The link closes at the reply-by date. Move the date and suppliers are told it has reopened.
Award letters
The winner hears they won and everyone else is thanked, in one step, with the saving recorded.
For the people who need things
You do not need to know how an RFP works. Intakt suggests who to ask, tells you the next step and chases suppliers for you.
For the people who buy
A proper sourcing event on more of your spend, strategy to award letters, all on record without the email thread.
Proper buying rules, without the big procurement team.
