Three bids, one method
Two independent scorers read every bid.
Different models, chosen through Gateway, score each bid against the criteria and cite the page for each score.
Where they disagree, the panel decides.
Agreements stand as proposals. Two scores differ by more than a point and go to the panel.
A requirement changes mid-tender.
An addendum changes delivery. Every bid’s delivery score is redone, not just the one that prompted it, with old and new scores shown.
The panel approves the scores.
The record shows criteria, evidence and who decided each disputed score.
Illustrative.
