Supply Chain and Tender Evaluation

Hi There,
My second post, it is all about tender evaluation. Transparency is the backbone of procurement function. Transparency can only be assured when a supply chain professional develops competition among suppliers. Also it is critical that a Supply Chain professional need to prove the stake holders based on what criteria a supplier is selected and what thresholds prompted to award a contract to the supplier and how he / she has selected a supplier.

I am sure this can be handled with the help of high-end procurement or contracting software but again a certain amount of manual interaction and customization is required to make this happen.
Why this all hazels, when you can use Microsoft Excel to do this job. I have attached two screen shots which would give you a better idea on how it looks like and a soft copy can be obtained by sending me request for the template please.
Organizations are quite keen to see how CPO of a company going to handle multimillion contract and supplier selection process.  Also it is a nightmare for the buyers to select the qualified suppliers when they are in the marketplace to buy technologies and services for which an "apple to apple" comparison wouldn't be practically possible.
