Frameworks

Tender Evaluation Frameworks — Digitized and Enforced

TenderAI applies documented evaluation processes to assess bids consistently and defensibly.

Common Best-Practice Phases

A structured approach to tender evaluation used by procurement teams worldwide.

1
Eligibility & Compliance

Pass/fail checks: bidder eligibility, certifications, insurances, signed forms, submission format compliance.

2
Technical Evaluation

Weighted scoring: method statement, experience, quality plan, HSE approach, staffing and delivery plan.

3
Commercial Evaluation

Weighted scoring: pricing structure, payment terms, retention, LDs/penalties, warranty, change control.

4
Risk Assessment

Risk matrix: legal, commercial, delivery, and operational risk with mitigation actions.

5
Moderation & Governance

Multi-reviewer scoring consistency, decision logs, and audit trails.

Where MEAT Fits

Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) evaluation considers value beyond price, balancing quality and cost. TenderAI supports MEAT-like scoring by allowing custom weights and quality criteria alongside commercial evaluation.
