Evaluation has a huge part to play in the successful delivery of the best possible outcome on your project. Confidence that your evaluation process will guide you to the successful award of your contract is critical.

Our core module, AWARD^® evaluation, offers a unique focus and depth of functionality for this pivotal stage of your procurement allowing you to:

• Conduct robust, transparent evaluations
• Work collaboratively with multiple stakeholders
• Control workflow and focus resource
• Control and mitigate risk
• Reduce time to contract
• Utilise real-time reporting for valuable insight
• Deliver effective bidder debriefs to protect you from challenges

Gathering information from bidders and presenting it to evaluators can be unnecessarily time consuming and complex. With AWARD^® Interaction, bidders can provide tender responses and upload bid documentation directly into AWARD^®.

Created out of a need to streamline this process, AWARD^® Interaction provides:

• Secure document transfer and data storage
• Clarification management, control and audit
• Bid upload capability, including offline submission function for time saving efficiencies
• Full reporting capabilities
• A sealed answer book to ensure bids are not accessed prior to tender deadlines

Good early engagement with potential suppliers routinely leads to better competition outcomes. By developing an accurate understanding of your marketplace, you allow for better decisions to be made.

So, where do you begin? Our AWARD^® Market Engagement module is here to help you plan for success by supporting:

• Information landscape, document research and review
• Information sharing and communications
• Market information management
• Options report writing

This module will ensure your project is primed for success, right from the offset

As pressure on delivering successful outcomes continues to grow, there is an ever-increasing need to develop a robust set of criteria against which to procure your solution…

But we’ve got you covered – with the AWARD^® SCD module you’re armed with a comprehensive set of tools and processes to:

• Create robust, fit for purpose and defensible contract award criteria
• Ensure stakeholders are consistently directed to a single version of the truth
• Deliver a consensus view of requirement variables
• Record engagement with geographically displaced stakeholders
• Remove undue influence from independent thought

The Requirements Management functionality forms part of the AWARD^® SCD module. It provides a collaborative environment for the development of requirements during the early phases of a project or programme, well before the consideration and development of the evaluation criteria.
