What is the evaluation report?

Look, the evaluation report is basically the heart (or headache, depends on who you ask) on the entire roll of public tender. It is that document that the Evaluation Committee weapons after reviewing all the proposals that arrive for a public contract. That is, it is not a simple list with popcorn, but a truth analysis, with hairs and signs, where each proposal is crumbled according to what they ask for in the tender.

And yes, the criteria there are not invented on the march. They come from the beginning: that if the experience of the supplier, that if the technical quality, that if the price, sustainability ... in short, the entire combo. The cool (or the complicated) is that the report not only tells you who is first, but explains why, with arguments and all the roll.

What is all this for? Well, so that no one comes to say that there was black hand, or that the process was a pachanga. By writing each decision and their reason for being, their backs are covered if someone claims or if an audit arrives (who, believe me, passes more often than one would like).

In addition, that report does not go directly to the dead file. It serves as a log for future tenders. There you can see what went wrong, what was a disaster, what worked, and even threw an eye on how the competition moves. It is gold information for those who know how to read between the lines.

For companies, the evaluation report is almost like the qualifications. Did you lose? There you can see where you governed it and what to improve for the next one. Did you win? Well, see what the win was given and you don't release it.

In summary, the evaluation report is not just a cumbersome requirement, it is key for the process to be clean and even. If you understand how the thing is going and you get attention, you can greatly improve your chances next time.

And be careful, because this is not optional in most countries. It is a legal obligation, so if you are going to play in the world of public tenders, you better familiarize yourself with these reports and do not grab you in a curve when they ask you or use them to decide if yes or if you do not touch the contract.
