SourceValor

Who it is for

SourceValor is aimed at procurement teams in the private sector who want to run tenders in a structured and traceable way, from invitation to award. Public procurement under the Swiss BöB/IVöB is not in scope.

Each role works in its own part of the process. Procurement sets up and steers the tender. Business users score without seeing prices, other stakeholders via a personal link. Suppliers submit via an invitation link, with no account and no registration. The award is approved under the four-eyes principle.

For consultancies and private equity firms, SourceValor is also available under their own name via AdvisorValor, with their own branding and strictly separate client environments. SourceValor is available separately and as part of the ProcureValor suite. If you use SpendValor, the baseline for a tender comes straight from spend. The software is developed in Switzerland and 100 % hosted in Switzerland.

SourceValor

How it works in practice

This is how you run a tender with SourceValor:

  1. Set up the tender. A wizard guides you through set-up in numbered steps. You fix criteria and weights before the start. With SpendValor, the baseline comes straight from spend.
  2. Invite suppliers. Suppliers receive a link and confirm the NDA in one click, with confirmation and log. They then have immediate access.
  3. Questions and bids. Questions are answered anonymously for all. Suppliers submit their bids in the tool. RFI, bidding round and renegotiation run in the same project.
  4. Evaluate and award. The price comparison puts all offers side by side, against the baseline from spend. Every score in the evaluation is explained, and the ranking calculates itself. The award is approved under the four-eyes principle, and the contract moves to ContractValor with all its terms. Export to Excel and PowerPoint.

SourceValor

An example

Example, fictitious and for illustration only. A Swiss trading company wants to re-tender its logistics services. The buyer sets up a tender in SourceValor and fixes the criteria and their weights before the start. She takes the baseline straight from SpendValor.

The invited suppliers open the link, confirm the NDA in one click and have immediate access, without an account. The buyer answers one supplier's questions anonymously for all. The bids arrive via the supplier portal.

The head of logistics scores the bids on their merits, without seeing the prices. In parallel, the price comparison shows all offers side by side, against the baseline. After a renegotiation round in the same project, the ranking follows from the explained scores. The award is approved under the four-eyes principle, the decision paper goes to management as PowerPoint, and the contract moves to ContractValor with all its terms.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is eRFx software like SourceValor?

eRFx software handles tenders digitally; SourceValor takes them from invitation to award. RFI, bidding round and renegotiation run in one project. Suppliers submit via an invitation link, with no account and no registration. Scoring uses weights fixed in advance, and the price comparison is visible at a glance. The award follows the four-eyes principle, with export to Excel and PowerPoint.

Who is SourceValor for?

SourceValor is made for tenders in the private sector. Public procurement under the Swiss BöB/IVöB is not in scope. Procurement runs the tender, business users score without seeing prices, and other stakeholders score via a personal link. Suppliers do not need an account. Consultancies and private equity can also use SourceValor under their own brand via AdvisorValor, on its own or with further modules.

What do I need to start a tender with SourceValor?

For a tender in SourceValor, you fix the criteria and their weights before the start. A wizard guides you through the new tender in numbered steps. If you also use SpendValor, the baseline comes straight from spend. Suppliers only need the invitation link: no account, no registration.

How does a tender with SourceValor work?

A tender with SourceValor runs in four steps. First, you set up the tender and fix criteria and weights. Second, you invite suppliers via a link, with an NDA in one click. Third, questions are answered anonymously for all, and suppliers submit their bids in the tool. Fourth come the ranking, four-eyes approval and the handover to ContractValor.

How quickly do suppliers get access to a tender in SourceValor?

In SourceValor, suppliers get access immediately once they have opened the invitation link and confirmed the NDA in one click. No account or registration is needed. The NDA confirmation is logged. Suppliers then submit their offer online in the supplier portal, and questions are answered anonymously for all.

Which eSourcing software is hosted in Switzerland?

SourceValor is eSourcing software for tenders that is developed in Switzerland and 100 % hosted in Switzerland. It is provided by Rheinvalor Advisory GmbH, which develops the software itself. As part of the ProcureValor suite, SourceValor keeps client environments strictly separate and records every change in an audit trail. Sign-in uses a one-time code without a password, and connections run via HTTPS only. Roles control access: business users do not see prices.

Can I use SourceValor on its own or only as part of a suite?

SourceValor is available separately and is part of the ProcureValor suite. You can start with SourceValor and add further modules when it suits you. Together, all modules share one data foundation: suppliers, categories and contracts are entered only once. The baseline for a tender then comes straight from SpendValor, and after the award the contract moves to ContractValor with all its terms.

How much does SourceValor cost?

SourceValor is available under a licence or a success-based model. To get started, tell us briefly what you have in mind or book a call directly. Rheinvalor Advisory will get back to you personally for a review. SourceValor can be started on its own and later extended with further modules of the ProcureValor suite, such as SpendValor for the baseline or ContractValor for the contract after the award.
