Why Inspire?
Inspire was created to assist Global Mobility and Procurement stakeholders to reduce the carbon footprint of their program, deliver value from existing providers or through an optimised RFP process. Our consultancy covers the key areas of ESG/Sustainability, the RFP Tender Process, Innovative Solutions and Technology to ensure educated decisions are taken and the desired results achieved.
Working solely for Global Mobility stakeholders and not Relocation Providers on RFP tenders means Inspire is truly transparent in the advice provided to ensure you obtain transparent advice and achieve your RFP goals.
Utilising our expertise, knowledge, and unique industry insight we assist companies overcome common challenges including the following.
- Achieving an effective ESG program and reducing their carbon footprint.
- Lack of knowledge or time to audit providers to achieve cost savings and additional value.
- Unsure what Innovation, Sustainability or Technology direction to take.
- RFPs do not run to time, increases stress levels for all and decreases the value that is achieved.
- High level of RFP questions from respondents that can derail the process as it begins.
- RFP pricing complex so a direct like for like comparison is hard or unable to be achieved.
Due to these issues and numerous others, added value opportunities and cost savings in your program can be missed. For example, driving sustainability and reducing your carbon footprint can become complex, RFP’s can quickly disengage potential providers. This disengagement if unchecked leads to difficult contract negotiations, implementation and go live with the new provider which is not the way to start a long term and productive provider relationship that will deliver the value you need. We ensure clients achieve a highly engaged, time and cost-efficient process that delivers their goals and objectives.
During a period of disengagement potential cost savings and value add opportunities can be missed. We ensure clients achieve a highly engaged, time and cost-efficient RFP tender process that delivers their goals and objectives.
Inspire assists clients by sharing unique industry intelligence and knowledge to ensure educated decisions are made through to delivering solutions to complex challenges.

Need Analysis It all starts here!
Inspire is here to help you through your Innovation, Provider, Sustainability, and Technology reviews or at any stage of your RFP tender. We increase the speed at which educated decisions are made and assist clients by utilizing our skills and knowledge to deliver their desired results.
Our engagement typically starts with a needs analysis to fully understand our clients existing situation, through to discussing their goals and objectives. We share alternate solutions and how they can deliver value, whilst being open about how realistic and achievable our clients’ goals and objectives are. This approach defines the client's goals and objectives so they can picture what success will look like! This is an essential element of planning a successful course of action to achieve the desired results.
More specifically to an RFP tender process the following are examples of the areas covered. We explore the clients' internal stakeholders involved, timelines required and consult on what is achievable taking key elements into consideration. We share information on the market from technology, and sustainability through to provider tiers and which tiers will potentially offer the best value to the client and why.
Some clients require one contracted provider for all services, whilst others may be interested in an Ecosystem model, where they contract with specialised providers to deliver the quality and services required. The ecosystem model can be highly effective, but we share what makes this model succeed or fail. Pricing is discussed with the potential for maximising cost savings with a clear and effective pricing format.
Following the needs analysis, a detailed report is compiled highlighting key value areas based upon the clients' unique needs.
The report includes the challenges, opportunities, and course of action to deliver the desired results. To achieve full value from the need's analysis report we suggest a meeting to deliver the findings and discuss in further detail.
This meeting can be on a one-to-one basis or in a workshop to explore the findings with a group of client stakeholders. This approach will allow for a timeline of actions to be drafted so the client stakeholders can visualise how they will achieve their goals and objectives. Following the meeting Inspire will provide a timeline of actions with a proposal covering the areas where the client requires assistance from Inspire to achieve their desired results.
