Proposal Evaluation Summary of Evaluation Criteria: Indiana Department of Administration
Proposal Evaluation Process • All proposals will be evaluated using the following approach. • Step 1 • In this step proposals will be evaluated only against Criteria 1 to ensure that they adhere to Mandatory Requirements. Any proposals not meeting the Mandatory Requirements will be disqualified. • Step 2 • The proposals that meet the Mandatory Requirements will then be scored based on Criteria 2 ONLY. This scoring will have a maximum possible score of 60 points. All proposals will be ranked on the basis of their combined scores for Criteria 2 ONLY. This ranking will be used to create a “short list”. Any proposal not making the “short list” will not be considered for any further evaluation. • Step 2 may include one or more rounds of proposal discussions, oral presentations, clarifications, demonstrations, etc. focused on proposal elements. • Step 3 • The short-listed proposals will then be evaluated based on all the entire evaluation criteria outlined in the table above (cost).
