While might get bids in on the tender I would not count on getting money in from your client if this is all you have to offer.

Generally spoken you should have expected that possibilty of bids receiving when submitting a request for tender.

Make an internet research for your head line as there is plenty of information out there. Alternativly you can activate your after hour work hunger and develope the format yourself. Nothing beats the experience you get from this one!

Anyway I dont think there is one fits it all and it all depends on your tender content how the evaluation should be looking like. Have fun!

Go here: Online Jobs, Employment | Indeed.com

Look for a job you know how to do.

Don't take money for a job you know nothing about. It isn't ethical.

Please either:

  • read, inwardly digest and apply the organisation's internal procedures for bid evaluation, and/or
  • ask for appropriate internal training on the organisation's internal procedures for bid evaluation, and/or
  • ask for an informed mentor for bid evaluation internally

before posting on CR4, to save embarrassment.

You needed to know this before you prepared your request for proposals so that you could have the bids submitted in usable format.

Also consider outsourcing to a consultancy if you are a simple equipment supplier and do not have the tools or experience necessary to perform the evaluation.

In addition this reduces your legal and financial risk along with your personal risk as you will be effectively signing off on a system design by performing the evaluation yourself (opening yourself up to all sorts of nasty and expensive legal surprises if it is wrong).

Tell me

1. what are the products or services that you want to evaluate. SPECIFICALLY

2. Do you know how to evaluate? Do you know what are the requirements for your products?

3. You need just a formatted blank excel sheet or a fully filled excel sheet where you can just put in the values and submit to client? Come on, prove me wrong, tell me former is the case with you. But I wont be surprised if it is latter

Typing, "technical bid evaluation template" into a search engine produced 110,000 results.

I'll leave the rest unsaid.

If Bid 1 < Bid 2, select Bid 1. (This may be overly technical, but I made it as simple as I could.)

It also assumes that all bidders were bidding to the same specs, which fact is not yet in evidence.

Jeyraj, I assume you are from India. We have two statement for Bid evaluation, one commercial and other Technical. I hope you are referring to technical. In this bid evaluation you will have to include following information:-

1. Technical compliance of bidder.

2. Availability of technical staff such as engineers and supervisors.

3. Availability of workman.

4. Past experience of bidder.

5. Reference List of past work carried.

6. Financial capability.

7. Insurance coverage of workman etc.

8. Safety Equipment available.

9. Awareness of Govt regulations.

These are few examples you can add many others depending on local conditions.

All these factors could be overruled by very influential politicians to award the tender to a certain party in the third world.

If you had developed the scope of work along with all pertinent technical specifications for that specified project, then you should also have automatically developed the Technical Bid Evaluation format!

Go and review your RFP, whatever you need are all contained in that document!

Without knowing what is in the RFP, can you be sure that "everything" is there. In any event, the bidders have the RFP and that is what they are supposed to quote from. Too many times I have seen inadequate RFP's, and the customer ends up paying for it sooner or later - but, that is the customer's fault for not being complete up front at RFP time.

So saying, I agree, what is in the RFP is what the evaluation(s) should come from.

Then you are obligated, and should get a copy of the RFP, to review, analyze and to get familiar with it!

If you are a party interested to submit a proposal and bid on the project, it is your obligation to review it for thoroughness / completeness prior to and before submitting your final bid proposal..

However, in order to avoid what you are stipulating as incompleteness or lack thereof in the packaged RFP, you are free to raise questions to address it or add as addendum(s) to your proposal(s) whatever you feel or think that will make complete the scope of the project.

Bottom line, the merits /demerits of the submitted proposal(s) is always will be based on an itemized, line by line response with associated cost, as described by or in the written RFP documents..

VVIP can influence the chairman of tender committee to find some loop hole in the lowest tender & reject it and find some good aspects(brand name,country of origin, delivery,warranty period,payment terms,previously dome similar work to same client etc) in the tender forwarded by their man.

Agreed, this is commercial part of evaluation and happens in most of developing countries, where tenders are finalised not on merits but on the basis of contacts. There is lot of money changing hands.

Govt. policy of placing order on lowest is worst. They buy cheapest goods and it becomes head ache for engineers to maintain poor quality of goods. I have fought many battles and saw that our product even though being highest has been selected as it was also of highest quality.

The decision makers should announce the reasons for awarding the contract to a certain bidder in order to convince all bidders thar there is fairplay.
