1. Governance grade sourcing decisions. Industrial scale.

Shorten sourcing award cycles without while reducing admin, rework, and stakeholder friction. Run live events already in your pipeline and reach defensible awards faster.


£10k. 90 days. No annual commitment.


This is a working programme, wherein we fully support your team to run 5-10 real-life sourcing events through our platform to upgrade your sourcing operations.


Go live in ~2 weeks.

Upload files → structured RFx. 

Suppliers respond any format → standardised, audit-ready comparisons.


If no live events in 30 days, support continues free.

2. Why this matters:

Awards don’t slow because of effort. They slow because inputs aren’t comparable or trustworthy.


Suppliers respond in different formats. Assumptions, units, and deviations don’t align. Scoring gets rebuilt. Justification happens late, under pressure.


The cost hits fast: premium freight, expediting, schedule misses, inventory buffers, and cross-functional churn.


So decisions drag, events get reworked, leverage weakens, and final awards are harder to defend internally and externally.

See where your sourcing cycle time is actually being lost.

3. Why teams choose this:

Faster than suites. Lower risk than rollout.

Traditional tools take 6+ months to implement. Teams find workarounds due to overwhelming, complex, clunky software.

This is different.

Live in ~2 weeks. £10k for 90 days. No lock-in.

Run real sourcing events in your pipeline - not demos.

You’re not trialling software. You’re getting to award faster and proving it on live events.

How it Works

Build RFx fast. Compare bids properly.

Upload your existing files - specs, drawings, prior RFx. DeepStream structures the RFx and removes manual setup.

Suppliers respond in any format. DeepStream standardises and compares bids across price, lead time, quality, and constraints.

No spreadsheet rebuilds. No late clarifications. No rework just to align inputs.

Less time cleaning data. More time getting to a defensible award.

Outcomes

What changes in 90 days

Run 5–10 live sourcing events through one structured, consistent model and get to award faster.

Cut sourcing admin 50–70%. Replace spreadsheet levelling with structured, side-by-side comparisons.

Align procurement, engineering, and operations in one process - not email loops.

Decisions are audit-ready by default.

Cycle time shortens, not because teams are working harder, but because compliant, data-driven decisions are ready to award earlier, with significantly less administrative overhead, freeing the team to focus on more strategic work.

Baseline and measure impact on your real sourcing events upfront.

How the Programme works:

Weeks 1-2: Implementation

Weeks 3-10: Execution
Run 5–10 live events. First awards ~6 weeks. No stalls. No rebuild cycles.
Weeks 11-12: Decision
Review cycle time, decision quality, consistency. Decide to scale or walk away.

This is not a procurement suite rollout.
