Bidding strategy for medication related requests for quotation – detailed specification

Project duration: 1 month

Brief description

Detailed specification for the development of a software application which supports the determination of quotation prices, when health insurance companies request tenders for influenza vaccines, on the basis of mathematical models. The starting point is provided by the Excel prototype which is currently being used and should be replaced. The functions implemented in the prototype will be professionally verified, extended, and adjusted in agreement with the customer, and fixed in the form of a detailed specification.

Supplement

In Phase 2, a functionally extended C# .Net application should be created from the Excel prototype (see Project ID 3082). A detailed analysis of the technical and systematic requirements is carried out in consultation with the customer. The developed solutions are discussed in workshops and specified in the form of a service description. Features are created and prioritized on the basis of the functional requirements. An estimate of work is performed on this basis. Exemplary user interfaces are designed with MS Visual Studio 2010. UML activity diagrams and a entity model are created with the Enterprise Architect modeling tool. All the analysis results are consolidated in the form of a detailed specification.

Subject description

The customer participates as a supplier in seasonal requests for quotations relating to influenza vaccine from health insurance companies. Price quotations are submitted before a deadline by the bidders and not published. On the basis of a mathematical model, the customer simulates the strategies of his competitors in relation to the geographical batches in which quotations are submitted, and their price quotations. Included in the calculation are assumptions about the competitors (e.g. free capacity, bidding price) and the expected amount to be supplied per batch (batch size). Practical experience of past requests for quotations play an important role in this. In future, the customer also wants to use the simulation model for requests for quotations for other medications. Functional extensions are required for this purpose. These include, among other things, the configuration of requests for quotations (number batches, number of competitors), a user-specific administration of simulations.
