pm-supplychain
Build a weighted RFP evaluation matrix and defensible award recommendation. Use when asked to score RFP responses, compare vendor bids, build a supplier evaluation matrix, run a sourcing event scorecard, or decide which bidder to award. Produces a criteria tree with weights, scoring anchors, normalized price scores, a consensus-scored comparison table, and an award recommendation with sensitivity check.
What to give it
▸What is being sourced — category, scope, contract length, estimated annual spend
▸The bidders — names or count, and their proposals or a summary of each
▸What matters most — cost pressure vs. capability vs. risk vs. service, in the buyer's words
▸Evaluation team — who scores (procurement, technical, quality, finance) and any mandatory pass/fail gates (certifications, financial health, compliance)
▸Pricing structure — unit prices, tiers, one-time costs, so total cost of ownership can be framed
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Weights sum to 100% and were set (or labeled assumed) before scores were assigned
✓Every criterion has written anchors for 5 / 3 / 1 — no unanchored gut scores
✓Price scores are normalized on total comparable cost at a stated volume scenario
✓Pass/fail gates applied before weighting, with any eliminated bidders named
✓Sensitivity check run — the recommendation states whether the winner is robust to ±10% weight shifts
✓Recommendation is defensible to a losing bidder: every score traces to evidence in their proposal
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not average unit prices across volume tiers — price all bids at the same forecast volume
Do not set or change weights after seeing the bids — that's reverse-engineering an award
Do not let a low price rescue a bidder who failed a mandatory gate
Do not average away a 2-point evaluator disagreement — reconcile it with evidence
Do not score vendor claims without evidence — an unsubstantiated "yes we can" anchors at 1–2, not 3
