Each one runs today and publishes its inputs, steps and outputs. ## Agents in this process ### Procurement Policy Advisor URL: https://leverge.ai/agents/procurement/sourcing-management/procurement-policy-advisor Answer a buyer's policy question from your own procurement policy, with every statement traced to the clause it came from — and hand over to a person when the policy does not actually settle it. Steps: Searching your procurement policy → Working out whether the policy settles this → Deciding whether to answer or hand over. Returns: What is being asked; What the policy says; Reply; Policy clauses used. ### RFQ Broadcast URL: https://leverge.ai/agents/procurement/sourcing-management/rfq-broadcast Work out which of your suppliers should receive this RFQ and draft the covering email for each — with every draft held for approval and the excluded suppliers listed with a reason. Steps: Reading the RFQ → Pulling out what suppliers need to be told → Looking up approved suppliers in this category → Deciding who should be invited → Drafting invitation {{loop.index}} of {{loop.total}} → Summarizing the distribution. Returns: Distribution summary; Invitations awaiting approval; Suppliers not invited. ### RFQ Creation URL: https://leverge.ai/agents/procurement/sourcing-management/rfq-creation Turn an informal purchase request into a publishable RFQ — requirements structured, missing detail named before it reaches suppliers, and the document built from your own approved format. Steps: Pulling your RFQ format and sourcing rules → Structuring the requirement → Writing the RFQ → Deciding whether this can go to market. Returns: Ready to publish?; What happens next; Draft RFQ; Requirement completeness; Format and rules used. ### RFQ Response Evaluation URL: https://leverge.ai/agents/procurement/sourcing-management/rfq-evaluation Score supplier quotes against weighted criteria you set, with a comparison table showing where each one won or lost. Steps: Evaluating quote {{loop.index}} of {{loop.total}} → Comparing the quotes → Writing the award recommendation. Returns: Leading quote; Award recommendation; Scores by criterion; All quotes; Risks and exclusions. ### RFQ Response Intake URL: https://leverge.ai/agents/procurement/sourcing-management/rfq-response-intake Turn the responses that have arrived into an organised bid packet — which supplier sent what, which documents the RFQ asked for and never came, and which files cannot be read at all. Steps: Identifying the supplier and the RFQ → Classifying document {{loop.index}} of {{loop.total}} → Compiling the bid packet. Returns: Who this is from; Documents received; Against what the RFQ asked for; Problems with this submission. ### RFQ Response Screening URL: https://leverge.ai/agents/procurement/sourcing-management/rfq-response-screening Put every supplier response through the RFQ's own mandatory requirements before anyone scores it — so a non-compliant bid is stopped at the gate rather than argued about in committee. Steps: Reading the RFQ → Extracting the mandatory requirements → Screening response {{loop.index}} of {{loop.total}} → Deciding which responses go forward → Writing the screening note. Returns: Can the evaluation proceed?; Screening note; Responses screened; Why responses failed. ### RFQ Screening Compiler URL: https://leverge.ai/agents/procurement/sourcing-management/rfq-screening-compiler Score every compliant response against the same weighted criteria and compile the result into one comparison sheet — with the export payload an evaluation record can be built from. Steps: Scoring response {{loop.index}} of {{loop.total}} → Compiling the comparison sheet. Returns: Highest weighted score; Leading response, criterion by criterion; All responses scored; Evaluation record export. ### RFQ Screening Rules URL: https://leverge.ai/agents/procurement/sourcing-management/rfq-screening-rules Turn a finalised RFQ into the rules responses will actually be judged by — pass/fail gates, weighted criteria and the evidence each one needs — written down before the first response arrives. Steps: Reading the RFQ → Deriving the screening rules → Writing what these rules will and will not catch. Returns: What these rules will and will not catch; Pass/fail gates; Scored criteria; Cannot be scored as written. --- Source: https://leverge.ai/agents/procurement/sourcing-management — Leverge
