The copilot
Five ways Awarden multiplies your practice
The copilot does the reading, drafting, and scoring. You bring the judgment, the client relationship, and the final call — on work that is always traceable back to the source.
Requirements Autopsy
Drop in a client's spend data, contract pack, or category brief. Awarden dissects it and returns a sourcing strategy skeleton — categories, cost drivers, incumbent exposure, and the requirements that actually matter.
Spend data → strategy skeletonRFP Autodraft
Generate the full RFP from your category and requirements — scope, questionnaires, evaluation criteria, and commercial schedules. You edit and approve; the blank page never happens again.
Requirements → complete RFPBid Reader
Ingest every supplier proposal and pre-score it against your evaluation criteria, with page-cited evidence behind each score so you can verify the source in one click.
Page-cited evidenceAward Brief Writer
Produce a board-ready award recommendation memo: the shortlist, the scoring rationale, the negotiated savings, and the decision trail that defends the award under scrutiny.
Board-ready memoBenchmark Network
Anonymized cross-firm data on supplier pricing and negotiation outcomes, so you walk into the negotiation knowing what a good number actually looks like.
Anonymized cross-firm dataCriteria Architect
Sourcing a category you have not run before? Answer a short guided questionnaire — category, strategy, complexity, term, business goals — and Awarden proposes the full evaluation scorecard: criteria, definitions, weights, scoring guidance, and the evidence to request. Edit it freely; every change is tracked against the AI proposal so the award stays defensible.

The platform
Everything a sourcing engagement needs, in one place
Around the copilot sits the workspace where the engagement actually runs — the purpose-built tools strategic sourcing requires, instead of spreadsheets, decks, and inboxes.
RFP command center
Launch structured RFP, RFI, and RFQ events with reusable templates, questionnaires, and deadlines. Track every supplier response in one live view.
Weighted supplier evaluation
Start with a Criteria Architect scorecard, then score suppliers against those weighted criteria. Awarden rolls up qualitative and quantitative inputs into a defensible award recommendation.
Strategic sourcing workflows
Move each category through intake, market analysis, sourcing, negotiation, and award with stage gates tailored to how your engagements actually run.
Savings & impact tracking
Quantify negotiated savings against baseline spend and surface realized impact your enterprise clients can take straight to the CFO.
Multi-client workspaces
Run every engagement in an isolated workspace with its own suppliers, documents, and stakeholders. Switch clients without ever mixing data.
Enterprise-grade governance
Role-based access, full audit trails, and encryption in transit and at rest — designed around SOC 2-aligned practices your clients demand.
