Sourcing / Bid evaluation

Technical merit, scored before price is ever opened.

Dual envelope evaluation keeps technical and commercial scoring separate until the technical gate closes.

On a regulated or high-value tender, evaluation has to prove technical merit was assessed before price could influence it.

That sequence is hard to enforce by hand. dmp enforces dual envelope sequencing at the system level and captures the audit trail automatically.

Key capabilities
  • Commercial bids stay locked and invisible until technical scoring is finalized
  • Normalized comparison across currency, Incoterms, and unit of measure
  • Split-award analysis recommends the lowest-total-cost way to divide volume across vendors
  • Auditable evaluation trail, AI-assisted scoring support for evaluators
Every capability, in detail

What this module actually does.

Defensible Awards (Dual-Envelope System)

Commercial bids remain locked and invisible from the moment an RFx opens until technical scoring is completely finalized. Evaluators never manually hide pricing columns or handle redacted PDFs — the system governs visibility automatically, so an award decision is defensible and immune to supplier disputes.

For Technical Evaluation Committees and compliance teams

Smart Bid Evaluation & Split-Award Optimization

Once envelopes open, disparate vendor currencies, Incoterms, and units of measure are standardized into one comparison matrix. The system then calculates the lowest-total-cost way to divide a large order across multiple vendors, turning bid evaluation from a days-long modelling exercise into arithmetic.

Auditable Evaluation Trail

Every score, comparison, and sequencing step is captured and time-stamped in an immutable log, so an award can be explained and defended after the fact instead of reconstructed from memory and email threads.

FAQ

Direct answers.

A tender evaluation method where technical and commercial proposals are scored separately. The technical envelope is evaluated and scored on merit first; only afterward is the commercial envelope opened, so price never influences technical scoring.

Evaluators score. dmp standardizes the format, enforces the sequence, and surfaces inconsistencies. The evaluation call stays with your team.
