Tender Evaluation – Business Overview

Purpose of the Tender Evaluation Page

The Tender Evaluation page is used to formally assess, compare, and approve vendor bids submitted against a tender. It supports transparent, structured, and defensible decision-making by enabling organizations to evaluate suppliers based on predefined commercial, technical, and compliance criteria before awarding a contract.

This page acts as the bridge between bid submission and final award, ensuring that procurement decisions are aligned with organizational policies, budgets, and risk standards.
