In reply to Stu.

Exactly, they will read written statements, base a shortlist on that, then trial something without looking under the hood.

How exactly does being able to see the code affect an RFP response, or even the evaluation of the RFP response. The written responses are important as it allows you to shortlist based on functionality, and then a decent evaluation will actually look at the running product in a proof of concept to verify the statements. They won’t look at the code, they’ll look at the execution of the product. It doesn’t matter at all whether the code is open or closed, all that matters is “does it fit our requirements?”
