• The formulation of evaluation criteria has
  long-lasting implications throughout the life
  cycle of a contract. The result should be picking
  the right seller for the contract. In fact, the
  development of evaluation criteria has often been
  debated to be one aspect of contract procurement
  that needs to be closely coordinated with both
  the contract administrator and project manager.
  What are your thoughts on the role that the
  contract manager should have in the development
  of evaluation criteria? What about the project
  manager? Who else should be involved in
  establishing and applying the evaluation
  criteria?

• It is very common to find customers/clients that
  fail to identify the RFP evaluation criteria
  during the procurement planning process, and in
  fact do not define the evaluation criteria until
  after proposals have been received and the
  evaluation process is set to begin. What do you
  think the risk of waiting is until bids have been
  received to establish the evaluation criteria to
  be used to select a preferred vendor?
• Do you think that clearly defining the evaluation
  criteria as part of the procurement process also
  locks in the Client to making his/her selection
  based on the specific criteria identified, thus
  reducing the potential for a client making a
  selection purely on subjective criteria (even
  through the ranking of proposals on a pre-defined
  set of criteria could in itself be subjective)?
• Once the evaluation criteria are agreed upon by
  the outsourcing team, the customer should rank
  the vendors based on their fulfillment of the
  criteria. Please Identify the five common steps
  involved in the evaluation of vendor proposals.
• do you think that procurements are rarely
  protested due to unclear or unspecified
  evaluation criteria, or do you feel it happens
  more often than we think? Do you feel a vendor is
  likely to protest a selection process for the
  sake of getting the decision overturned and
  possibly even getting selected, regardless of
  what it does to the relationship with the
  client/owner?
• Should vendors be aware of the evaluation
  criteria during the procurement phase, or after
  they have submitted their proposals/bids?
• Why do you think some owners do not like to
  define the selection/evaluation criteria as part
  of the request for proposals?
• is it bad to have a vendor developing his/her
  proposal based on the evaluation criteria
  provided in the RFP or RFQ?
