Why project owner assistance?

Choosing an ERP, launching a managed services tender, migrating to new tools: facing suppliers who all have good arguments, the project owner needs someone on their side. IT project owner assistance (AMO in French) turns your organisation’s needs into clear requirements, compares bids on objective criteria and follows the project to the end.

For public buyers, poorly written technical specifications lead to an unsuitable bid or a contested tender. Project owner assistance secures every step.

Our rule: EKUITY never bids on a consultation it helps to build. When we assist you, we are entirely on your side, with no possibility of becoming a candidate.

How the engagement works

  1. Needs: workshops with teams, priorities, regulatory and budget constraints.
  2. Consultation: specifications or tender documents, selection criteria, possible suppliers.
  3. Selection: bid analysis, hearings, reasoned selection report.
  4. Follow-up: project steering, trade-offs, acceptance and go-live.

What you receive

  • A needs statement validated by business teams
  • Specifications or tender documents ready to publish
  • A scoring grid and a reasoned selection report
  • Steering reports up to acceptance

Who is it for?

Frequently asked questions

Can EKUITY bid on a consultation it helps to prepare?
No, never. EKUITY refuses to bid on a consultation it helps to build: when we act as your project owner assistant, we cannot be a candidate. That is the condition for truly independent advice.
What is IT project owner assistance?
IT project owner assistance (AMO in French) supports the organisation that owns a project: it formalises needs, writes the specifications or tender documents, helps choose suppliers and follows the project to acceptance, defending the client’s interests.
Do you support public IT tenders?
Yes: technical specifications, selection criteria, bid analysis and contract follow-up, for local authorities, schools and administrations.
When should we bring in project owner assistance?
As early as possible, before the specifications are written: that is when scope, budget and selection criteria are decided.
Can you step in on a project already under way?
Yes. EKUITY can take over the steering of an ongoing project, review gaps against the contract and help with trade-offs.
