If a user has access to Procurement Planning and Advanced Evaluations, their evaluation teams, and mandatory and weighted criteria can be defined prior to going to market. If defined at the Planning stage, and this is pushed to Advanced Evaluations, this information will be pre-populated for you at the Evaluation stage.

If defined at the Evaluation Planning Stage, the mandatory and weighted criteria appear as read only at the Evaluation stage as these are locked in after approval of the Plan.

While the evaluation teams/panel can also be defined in Planning, this can be modified at the Evaluation stage in case there are changes to staff availability.

In Go to Market, users should select Advanced Evaluations as their Evaluation Method at the final Save & Post step.

Once supplier responses are unlocked in Go to Market, they can be pushed to Advanced Evaluations. All responses, including documents, and budget flow through to the Evaluation. At the final stage of the Evaluation, awarded and declined supplier(s) will be pushed back to Go to Market for finalisation/award.

When the Evaluation stage is reached, the top of the page also displays a navigation link back to the associated Plan.
