During tender evaluation, buyers must ensure that each submission is analysed thoroughly and consistently. Producing a report on each submission (1) supports transparency, auditability, and fairness. Checking arithmetical accuracy (3) ensures that pricing data is correct and prevents calculation errors from misleading the evaluation. Reviewing pre-qualification questionnaires is part of the earlier stage, not tender analysis, while market dynamics are external context, not part of evaluating responses. Responsible sourcing highlights the importance of structured and auditable evaluation processes to protect against bias, ensure compliance, and provide stakeholders with a defendable record of decisions.
