Best Value - Weighted Scoring: Proposal Ranking
| Technical (Qualitative) Score for Supplier C | Financial (Quantitative) Score for Supplier C | |||
| 87 | 77.78 | |||
| Combined Weighted Qualitative Score | Combined Weighted Quantitative Score | Total Combined Weighted Score | ||
| 65.25 | + | 19.45 | = | 84.70 |
In this example, note how Supplier C is ranked number one even though Supplier C did not have the lowest Financial Proposal
With Best Value, cost is often not the driving factor for awarding bids. It is important, but not to the point of overriding qualitative factors such as quality and effectiveness of goods/services, or supplier’s expertise, or commitment to sustainability.
