FOR IAM BID, ARCHITECTURE AND DELIVERY TEAMS

Know what you are committing to. Before you submit.

Find the source behind an answer. Review what applies to this tender. Make missing evidence and unpriced scope visible while there is still time to act.

Stop chasing the same answer.

A bid lead needs the current response, its owner and its next reviewer. Email threads and separate drafts make that harder to establish.

Check before you reuse.

A good answer from a previous tender may contain assumptions that do not apply today. Verify the source and review the changes.

Expose the unpriced commitment.

Application counts, custom connectors, data quality and cutover windows can change the estimate. Record the dependency before promising delivery.

STEP 1 OF 3

Find the answer worth reusing

Avoid asking specialists to rewrite an answer that already exists.

Read the approved source and its version before selecting an answer.

Your review question

Does this source apply to the current requirement?

Explore each step

1. Find the answer worth reusing

Read the approved source and its version before selecting an answer.

Check the source version and confirm that its scope matches your requirement.

Review question: Does this source apply to the current requirement?

2. Review what the draft changes

Compare the original and adapted wording. Accept it, retain the original or discard it.

The adapted draft explicitly leaves the four-hour cutover commitment unverified.

Review question: Which wording can your delivery team stand behind?

3. Save a draft for the next review

Refine the draft, record the unresolved commitment and save it for human review.

Save your changes and assign the next reviewer before submission.

Review question: What must be checked before this draft can be submitted?

Source matching and drafting support human review. They do not establish compliance or approval.

COMPLETED IAM SCOPE AND EVIDENCE WORKBOOK

A credible plan. One commitment still needs evidence.

Fictional worked example. All organisations, roles, requirements, sources and figures in this workbook are illustrative. They are not customer results, a BidGenX price or a market benchmark.

20 applications. 2,000 identities.

Two pilot applications, followed by three waves of six. The tender requires a staged migration, rollback rehearsal and handover, with a maximum four-hour cutover per application.

The method describes staged delivery and rollback. Application-level timing evidence is missing.

Decision: HOLD. The mandatory cutover commitment is not substantiated.

Make the gap actionable.

The architect obtains dependency and pilot timing evidence. The bid lead submits a clarification and schedules a gap review before submission.

46 person-days plus 15% contingency gives 52.9 days. At an illustrative CHF 1,200 per day, the total is CHF 63,480 excluding tax.

If the mandatory cutover condition cannot be met, escalate bid/no-bid. An assumption does not override the requirement.

Bid lead and technical reviewer
Demo Bid Lead / Demo Solution Architect (fictional roles)
Document version and review date
Example v1.0 | Review: 13 Nov 2026 | Submission: 20 Nov 2026
In-scope IAM services and environments
2,000 workforce identities; 20 applications; one test and one production environment. Discovery, staged migration, rollback rehearsal and handover. Pilot: 2 applications; remaining 18 in 3 waves of 6.
Requirement ID and source clause / page
MIG-014 | Fictional RFP section 4.2, page 12
Exact requirement or controlled summary
Describe a staged IAM migration with agreed entry/exit criteria, a rehearsed rollback approach and operational handover. Confirm that each application can meet a maximum four-hour cutover window.
Supporting evidence: title, version, location and date
Fictional Migration Method v2, sections 3-6; demo/migration-method-v2.pdf; 10 Nov 2026. Illustrative source covers waves, rollback and handover. No application-level cutover timing evidence supplied.
Coverage decision and rationale
Partial. The fictional method covers staged delivery and rollback. It does not substantiate the four-hour cutover limit for all 20 applications. No unconditional compliance statement is justified.
Evidence gap, owner and due date
Demo Solution Architect: obtain dependency inventory and pilot timing results by 17 Nov. Demo Bid Lead: submit clarification on the four-hour limit by 16 Nov. Keep the response on hold until resolved.
Work package / linked requirement IDs
WP-03 | Staged IAM migration | Linked requirement: MIG-014
Sizing basis and technical assumptions
Assume 20 supported standard connectors, clean identity data and customer-approved mappings. Two pilot applications, then three waves of six. Estimate assumes no custom connector development.
Customer responsibilities and third-party dependencies
Customer IAM Owner: app inventory and test accounts by 16 Nov. App Owners: approve mappings and test results before each wave. Missing inputs delay planning and require re-estimation.
Exclusions and unresolved scope questions
Custom connectors, licence fees, source-data remediation and 24/7 support excluded. Four-hour cutover remains unverified. Any exclusion that conflicts with mandatory scope needs explicit resolution.
Effort, rates, currency and change trigger
Illustrative only: 46 person-days + 15% contingency = 52.9 days at CHF 1,200/day = CHF 63,480, excluding tax. Re-estimate for extra apps, custom connectors or tighter cutover requirements.
Decision: Ready / Conditional / Hold
HOLD | Internal example review only; not approved for submission
Conditions that must be resolved before submission
Resolve cutover clarification; obtain pilot timing evidence; confirm inventory and connector assumptions; agree exclusions. If the mandatory window cannot be met, escalate bid/no-bid instead of claiming compliance.
Technical and commercial reviewers / review dates
Demo Solution Architect: technical review, 13 Nov. Demo Commercial Lead: estimate review, 13 Nov. Both are fictional roles; reviews are illustrative and approval is withheld.
Approved response version and scope baseline
None. Response draft v1.0 and scope baseline v0.3 remain unapproved. Update both after clarification and evidence review, then request technical and commercial approval.
Next action and accountable owner
Demo Bid Lead schedules the gap review for 18 Nov, with the architect and commercial lead. Record evidence, decision and owners before the 20 Nov submission.

Effort breakdown: discovery 6, design 8, configuration 14, testing 10, handover 4 and management 4 person-days. Total 46 plus 6.9 contingency. Effort is not elapsed delivery duration.
