Supplier bid comparison and scoring

-50% analysis time

Comparing commercial proposals that differ in format and scope first means making them comparable. Buyers spend hours copying data into a common spreadsheet, and the real weighting of criteria shifts from one file to the next depending on who handles it.

A structured process for fast, reliable results.

Bid import

Commercial proposals received (PDF, emails, Excel files) are loaded into the platform.

Data normalisation

Criteria are extracted and standardised: price, lead times, payment terms, warranties, included services.

Multi-criteria scoring

Each bid is assessed automatically against your weighted criteria (cost, quality, lead time, CSR, risk).

Comparison report

A concise comparison table with scores, strengths and weaknesses of each bid, and a recommendation.

Frequently asked questions: Supplier bid comparison and scoring

You set the criteria and their weighting according to your procurement policy. Standard criteria (price, lead time, quality) can be extended with CSR, innovation or supplier risk criteria.

Yes, that is precisely where its value lies. Extraction and normalisation bring out comparable information whatever the supplier's presentation format.

Scoring informs the decision and makes the comparison traceable. The buyer keeps control of the weighting, the reading of the gaps and the final choice, which can be argued from a shared basis.

Yes, suppliers' performance history (on-time delivery, quality, after-sales service) feeds the scoring for a fuller assessment.

Yes, the report is generated as a PDF or PowerPoint file, ready to present to a procurement approval committee.

-60% response time

Automated tender responses

The Loopio and APMP benchmark puts the average response to a tender at 25 hours of work, and between 15 and 70 hours depending on complexity. Three tasks absorb most of that effort: searching past answers, chasing internal experts and formatting, leaving little room for the commercial argument itself.

Continuous supplier evaluation

Supplier evaluation usually relies on an annual review that bears little relation to the past twelve months of operations. Early warning signs, repeated delays, slipping quality, financial strain, show up in the data well before the review, and the incident happens in between.

-70% sourcing time

Sourcing new suppliers

Finding new suppliers to diversify a panel or replace a failing provider takes exploratory work that schedules rarely allow. The search then stays within the address book, which brings back the same players and overlooks candidates better placed on price or CSR criteria.
