22 The Selection Process Tata Steel Slide 22 The standard software selection process Long List: Desk study, Gartner quadrants etc Requirements: functionality, performance, technical and architecture, commercial, supplier maturity, future support etc Implementation process Request for Information (RFI) Short List: Selection based on the provided information. Might invite selected suppliers, run Q&A sessions etc Request for Quotation (RFP) RFP process: Invite supplier, presentations, demo s, customer visits etc. Score Lists: score on requirements, weight factors etc Deal with personal preferences etc

23 Tata Steel Slide The actual selection process Three suppliers were selected from different backgrounds for a pitch presentation on new technologies and innovations in laboratory processing. From this pitch 2 suppliers remained. No additional suppliers were selected since it was expected that these would provide only more of the same. A Request for Proposal was issued on October 1, 2015 followed by Q&A session and a proposal clarification session including a condensed training on both systems. Proposals were received mid November Evaluation conducted guided by a evaluation document focussing on the Tata Steel instructions. One suppler was selected More experience with their product and as LIMS supplier 23
