Public procurement professionals know that evaluation is one of the most critical, and scrutinized, phases of the procurement process. That’s why we’ve reimagined it from the ground up. 

Today, we’re introducing a brand-new evaluation module built into the bids&tenders platform. Purpose-built for public sector professionals, the module has been designed to simplify the evaluation process, reduce administrative burden, and give you full control over how decisions are made, all while meeting your compliance and auditability needs. 

Built with Public Sector Procurement in Mind 

Our new Evaluation module addresses realities procurement professionals face every day: tight timelines, cross-functional evaluation teams, regulatory oversight, and the need to balance transparency with efficiency. Whether you’re issuing an RFP, RFI, or RFQ, this module supports your evaluation workflows in a way that’s modern, flexible, and intuitive. 

What’s New in Evaluation Essentials 

Here’s how the new module will make your life easier: 

Simplified Setup & Configuration 

  • Enable or disable evaluations at the project level. 
  • Quickly build evaluations using templates. 
  • Choose between point-based or weighted scoring, with enhanced decimal precision 
  • Easily create evaluation stages, sections, and criteria. 

Flexible Review Meeting Options 

  • Two evaluation paths: 
    • Collaborative review meetings to resolve scoring differences. 
    • Automated average scores for faster, no-meeting decisions. 
  • You choose the method that best aligns with your internal policies. 

Smart Role-Based Permissions 

  • Control who can view or adjust scores during review meetings. 
  • Decide whether evaluators can edit their own scores, or if only the procurement lead has access. 

Modern, Intuitive Interface 

  • A clean, user-friendly interface that reduces errors and cognitive load. 
  • Clear error messages help users troubleshoot without relying on support. 
  • Evaluators can score, add comments, and update their evaluations without leaving the platform.  

What You’ll See as a Procurement Lead 

  • A dedicated evaluation tab in your project dashboard. 
  • Enhanced visibility into evaluator progress and submission status. 
  • Tools to quickly assign evaluators, manage conflicts of interest, and track NDA acknowledgments. 
  • A powerful review meeting grid that allows for real-time collaboration, consensus-building, and final scoring. 
  • Easily manage permissions, evaluation templates, and review meeting logistics.  

What Evaluators Will Experience 

  • A streamlined evaluation experience designed for clarity and focus. 
  • Automatic reminders, easy sign-ins, and the ability to resume where they left off. 
  • Two dynamic views during review meetings: Evaluator View and Supplier View. 
  • Easy-to-spot lack of consensus flags and built-in resolution workflows. 

 Better Compliance. Lower Risk. Less Paper. 

Our new evaluation module helps you: 

  • Standardize and document every step of your evaluation process. 
  • Meet procurement regulations with robust audit trails and version control. 
  • Eliminate spreadsheets and paper-based scoring sheets. 
  • Reduce errors, delays, and manual work. 

This is evaluation done the right way, for public sector teams that need accountability and agility in equal measure.
