Scoring Supplier Responses


When you create a negotiation, you can optionally choose to create requirement questions to be answered by the supplier. You can then score, either automatically or manually, the supplier responses to the requirements. Once the responses are scored, you can use them when evaluating competing responses.

 

In this demo, you will manually score a supplier response.

 

 


Steps:

  1. You begin scoring a response by clicking the Score link for a supplier response on the Award Negotiation page.

    Step 1

  2. You now rate the supplier responses to the negotiation requirements by assigning a score to them. Response values meeting your requirements should be scored higher, but not exceeding the maximum score specified by the negotiation creator.

     

    In this example, you have viewed the supplier response and chosen to give it the maximum score of 10.

    Step 2

  3. You continue viewing and scoring the remaining requirement responses. You  click the Save and Close button when you are done.

    Step 3

  4. Observe that the score for the supplier CompUSA is now updated with the cumulative score for that supplier's response.

     

    Similarly you can score the remaining  three supplier responses. Once you have  scored all the responses, you observe that all the suppliers are currently shortlisted for award. This means that all suppliers are available for awards, regardless of their requirement scores.

    Step 4

  5. To simplify later evaluation and analysis when you make your award decisions, you now shortlist the suppliers meeting your requirements by applying the knockout criteria.

     

    The knockout criteria is a set of minimum requirement scores that all responses must meet to be considered for awards.

     

    Click the Apply Knockout Criteria button.

    Step 5

  6. Based on the knockout criteria  specified when the negotiation was created, all suppliers with scores not meeting the criteria are removed from the shortlist.

     

    They are listed in the  Remove from Shortlist table. All those suppliers meeting the criteria are listed in the  Apply to Shortlist table.

     

    Click the OK button to accept the recommendation.

    Step 6

  7. You can see that the shortlist status for two of the suppliers has changed. These are no longer candidates for award.
