Evaluation criteria

The published factors and weightings a buyer uses to score bids — typically a mix of technical and commercial (price) elements.

In depth

Evaluation criteria (e.g. 70% technical / 30% price) tell bidders where to focus. Understanding the weighting is essential to winning: a low price rarely wins a technically-weighted RFP.

How Bid.Guide helps

Bid.Guide reads the evaluation matrix and its win-score weighs your fit against exactly those criteria.
