Score-Based Awards

Score-based Awards objectively evaluate on specific, measurable criteria while providing accountability in the bidding process for all involved.

RFx creators should weight scores to ensure most the important criteria properly influence the final score. The higher the weight, the more important the criteria.

• Examples
  • Accessibility – are there any limitations that would make the good/service difficult to use?
  • Reliability – does it just work? How much maintenance does it require?
  • Service expectations– how will service interruptions affect end users?
  • Staff expertise – how experienced are supplier personnel?
