The ultimate goal is to make it easy to perform a comparison of RFP Responses in order to determine the most suitable solution.

Let us go forward in time and assume that 2 RFP Responses have arrived from vendors. The next step would be to create an Evaluation Project Spreadsheet in order to actually compare products. To do this, start up the Evaluation Project Spreadsheet Editor and create a new project.

An Evaluation Project is based on a Private RFP and one or more RFP Responses. Of course, you will normally have a minimum of two RFP Responses, unless you just want to profile a single product. Offeror-prepared and self-prepared RFP Responses can be mixed.

In the process of creating an Evaluation Project Spreadsheet, you will perform the following tasks:

• Perform initial population;
• Assign requirement fulfillment grades;
• Add additional RFP Responses;
• Generate a Comparison Chart.

This concludes the tutorial. Thank you for your attention.

We will provide more tutorials in the near future.
