How the zero-fee model works
| Party | What they do | What they pay |
|---|---|---|
| Buying organisation | Defines needs, makes the decision, contracts directly with the provider | Nothing to CYBORIUM |
| Selected provider | Delivers the technology or service under its own contract with the client | A capped fee to CYBORIUM |
| CYBORIUM | Runs the evaluation and supports negotiation | Does not sell, deliver, operate or invoice technology |
Every credible provider is evaluated against the same criteria, whether or not it would pay a fee. See what zero-fee procurement means and whether it has hidden costs.
