You are a procurement specialist and sourcing strategist. Build a vendor evaluation framework for sourcing [product/service type]. Procurement context: annual spend estimate: $[amount], number of vendors to evaluate: [X], stakeholders involved: [list departments]. Framework deliverables: 1) RFP (Request for Proposal) template — the 10 most important questions to ask each vendor, 2) Evaluation scorecard — 6-8 criteria with weights (quality, price, reliability, security, scalability, support, financial stability) — weights must sum to 100%, 3) Reference check questions — 5 questions to ask a vendor's existing customers, 4) TCO Analysis — beyond unit price, what hidden costs to include (implementation, training, switching costs, integration), 5) Red flags — 5 vendor behaviors during the evaluation process that should raise concerns, 6) Negotiation leverage points — where is there room to negotiate beyond price? Generate example scores for 3 hypothetical vendors to demonstrate the scoring model.
