Part B EVALUATION OF TENDER
This section sets out how the organisation intends to score submitted bids/proposals
EVAULATION METHODOLOGY
In the interests of an open, fair and transparent assessment, this document sets out how [INSERT COMPANY] intends to evaluate tender responses. It outlines the evaluation criteria and respective weightings, as well as the evaluation methodology to be applied.
EVALUATION PROCESS
The process that will be used to select an appropriate Tenderer and award the contract for this procurement is to check for suitability of the tenderer. If the tenderer does not conform to the minimum requirements Tenders will not be marked.
It should be noted that pricing is only taken into consideration should the technical / quality evaluation result achieve the threshold. The minimum score is X.
An evaluation panel consisting of representatives of key stakeholders within [INSERT COMPANY] will carry out the evaluation. The procurement team will only act as moderator during the suitability and proposal assessment phases of the evaluation.
TENDER EVALUATION CRITERIA AND MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
In evaluating tenders, the most economically advantageous tender(s) will be sought. This will be using the evaluation criteria and weightings detailed in Appendix X.
The evaluation criteria specified in Appendix X relate to the attached specification which detail the minimum requirements. Therefore, any tender which cannot demonstrate that it meets any of the minimum requirements will not be marked and will automatically score zero.
Tenderers are advised to carefully consider the attached specifications, ask clarification questions to ensure these are understood
Suitability Questions. Tenderers must pass all of the questions in this section for their RFP to be marked. A fail will automatically result in a non- compliant bid.

Where possible separate certain elements of the requirement into smaller sections (work packages) to make it clearer for the supplier understand your requirements. This will also help define a list of deliverables.
When drafting the scope of work discuss the requirement with colleagues, other users (internal/external stakeholders) and supply chain where necessary to aid you.
Consider the following points below when drafting
- List the most important elements of the requirement first and work through to the least important
- Use simple language, avoid using jargon;

A project milestone is the end of a stage that marks the completion of a work package or phase, which eventually makes up a project deliverable.
Use Milestones with clear deliverables to help structure the management of the project.

Consider if the project deliverable or output is a tangible or intangible object produced as a result of the project that is intended to be delivered to [INSERT COMPANY], for example a report, a document, a DVD/Website etc.
For larger projects it may be easier to break the project down into stages using key deliverables as project milestones.
