Define Your Criteria
List the evaluation categories (price, technical fit, support, etc.) and assign a weight to each so they add up to 100%.
Score Each Proposal
After reading vendor proposals, enter a score (1–5 or 1–10) for each criterion. The template calculates weighted totals automatically.
Compare & Decide
Review the ranked vendor list, document your rationale, and share with stakeholders for sign-off.
Pro Tips for Better Scoring
- Define scoring criteria and weights before you receive proposals to avoid bias.
- Have multiple evaluators score independently, then average—this reduces subjectivity.
- Use a 1–5 scale per criterion for clarity; 1–10 scales introduce inconsistency across evaluators.
- Lock the weight column after setup so no one accidentally changes the scoring model.
Skip the Spreadsheet. Score Automatically.
Nvelop auto-scores vendor proposals against your criteria the moment responses arrive. No copy-pasting into Excel—just ranked results with full audit trails.
