Bid Evaluation

Send comments on this topic.

  

 

The evaluation page is where all of the bid information is presented and bid evaluations are done.  This page is gotten to from the small hamburger menu associated with the procurement on the procurement list.    PRISM provides an initial assessment of whether the goal was met based on an analysis of the procurement goal and the bidder's sub plan.  The evaluator can override the assessment with their own review of the information provided.

 

This section describes the page layout and an overview of what each section of the page provides.
