RFP Response Evaluation Tool

Author(s): Laura Hansen-Kohls , Rebecca Hoke

Purchasing that is significant enough to trigger issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP) should be evaluated in an equally significant manner. Such an evaluation should be based on concrete and demonstrable evidence.

Use this tool to:

  • Employ an objective scoring mechanism for evaluation criteria.
  • Normalize scores across vendors for an unbiased vendor assessment.
  • Drive the selection meeting with the procurement department.

Put hard numbers behind vendor claims, and keep evaluations objective by scoring RFP responses.
