BIDS · TENDERASSIST EVALUATION

TenderAssist — Evaluation

Score incoming bids against your own framework, with every score sourced to a passage and a regulatory-compliant audit trail.

← All guides Zero data egress

Define your scoring framework, score bidders across numeric, compliance and qualitative criteria with evidence, then export a defensible decision trail.

Stage 1 of 3 · Per RFP

Framework Setup — your criteria, your weightings

You define the framework, criterion by criterion, weight by weight, band by band. Nothing is pre-canned.

What you see

  • A criteria list with drag-reorder
  • A weight-sum indicator (must total 100%)
  • An opt-in suggestions panel of curated criteria
  • Framework upload via Excel

What you do

  1. Add criteria manually or from suggestions
  2. Set a weight for each criterion
  3. Set the scoring scale (1–5, 1–10, pass/partial/fail)
  4. Mark mandatory criteria

What you get

  • A framework locked in for this RFP
  • It cannot be changed once scoring starts
  • The basis for every score that follows
Stage 2 of 3 · Ongoing

Scoring Workspace and Evidence Panel

Numeric, compliance and qualitative scores, every score linked to a passage in the bid.

What you see

  • A criteria list with score and confidence per bidder
  • Colour-coded confidence bands
  • An Evidence Panel with source passages
  • Override and notes controls

What you do

  1. Review high-confidence scores in bulk
  2. Focus on amber (0.70–0.84) scores
  3. Override any score with a reason
  4. Add evaluator notes

What you get

  • Every score sourced to a passage
  • Override reasons captured for audit
  • Weighted totals per bidder
Heads up. TenderAssist does not score on its own authority — it applies the framework you defined, and does not assess, rank or recommend bidders.
