Worked example
What it makes
The starting criteria for a tender comparison, with example scores for three unnamed options to show how the weighting works. Your Room uses your own options and scores.
| Criterion (weight) | Option A | Option B | Option C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meets the specification (5) | 5/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Price (4) | 3/5 | 5/5 | 4/5 |
| Delivery approach and method (4) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Experience on similar contracts (4) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Team and capacity (3) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 4/5 |
| Risk and quality management (3) | 3/5 | 4/5 | 2/5 |
| Social value and sustainability (2) | 4/5 | 3/5 | 3/5 |
| Weighted score | 75.2/100 | 72/100 | 67.2/100 |
Weighted score = sum of (weight × score) ÷ sum of (weight × 5), out of 100.

Questions
About the Tender Evaluation Matrix
Does WZRD rate these products?
No. You score each option on your own criteria; WZRD only does the weighted maths and lays out the result. Check prices and features on each vendor's own site, because they change often.
Does it handle price and quality splits?
Set the weights to match your split, for example price at 4 and quality criteria at 5. The method is shown in the Room.
