Can evaluation criteria be weighted?
Evaluation criteria can be weighted based upon percentage assigned to each criteria by the contracting unit. For example, the contracting unit may weigh technical as 40 percent, management as 20 percent, cost as 20 percent, assurance of performance as 15 percent and vendor s financial stability and strength as 5 percent. It is recommended that the weighting of the evaluation criteria not be released until the proposals are received but prior to being opened.
