Procurement Strategy

Avant helps broker and agency partners organize the procurement process around the client’s needs. We help evaluate the opportunity, shape a clear market approach and keep the process moving with the right information at the right time.

RFP & Market Process

Two interlocking gears.

Define the Market Approach

Clarify priorities, requirements and the information needed to take an ancillary benefits opportunity to market.

Coordinate RFP Activity

Support a more organized RFP process across carriers, timelines and responses so partners can stay focused on the client.

Compare the Options

Bring market responses into a clearer decision process that supports thoughtful placement recommendations.

Placement Support

Procurement does not stop when proposals arrive. Avant stays engaged as partners move from market review to selection, placement and the next steps required for a smooth handoff.

Market Review

  • Help organize options around the priorities established at the start of the process.

Placement Coordination

  • Support communication and next-step coordination as the selected solution moves forward.

Connected Support

  • Transition naturally into Avant’s Client Experience support when ongoing coordination can add value.

Implementation

A strong procurement process should lead to a clear transition. Avant helps partners maintain continuity as decisions become action and responsibilities move into implementation.
