Eligibility & Compliance
Pass/fail checks: bidder eligibility, certifications, insurances, signed forms, submission format compliance.
Technical Evaluation
Weighted scoring: method statement, experience, quality plan, HSE approach, staffing and delivery plan.
Commercial Evaluation
Weighted scoring: pricing structure, payment terms, retention, LDs/penalties, warranty, change control.
Risk Assessment
Risk matrix: legal, commercial, delivery, and operational risk with mitigation actions.
Moderation & Governance
Multi-reviewer scoring consistency, decision logs, and audit trails.
Where MEAT Fits
