Workflow Steps

Step 1 - Submit Procurement Request with Business Case

A department submits a procurement request with a detailed business case, requirements, and an initial risk assessment.

Step 2 - Compliance, Security, & Risk Review

The request is automatically routed to compliance, IT security, and risk management teams to ensure it meets all regulatory, security, and third-party risk standards.

Step 3 - Formal Vendor Bidding Process (RFP)

For significant purchases, a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process is initiated with a list of pre-vetted, financially stable vendors.

Step 4 - Vendor Selection & Contract Negotiation

A vendor is selected based on a weighted scoring of the RFP responses. The legal team then leads contract negotiations, focusing on liability, data protection, and audit rights.

The Purpose of Procurement Request (Banking)

This workflow is tailored for the specific and stringent procurement needs of the banking industry, which involve high levels of compliance, security, and risk management. It manages the entire procurement lifecycle, from the initial request through a rigorous vendor due diligence and bidding process, ensuring that all purchases meet the bank's high standards for security, reliability, and regulatory compliance (e.g., FFIEC, PCI-DSS).
