How the scores were made

Evaluation trail audit

A review of scoring sheets, minutes, and supporting remarks that explain how procurement applications were judged, not a second-guessing of professional preference.

An application can be complete and still sit on a weak evaluation file. We look for the path from published criteria to individual marks to the recommendation. Where remarks are copied across bidders, or a criterion appears that was never in the notice, we write that down in plain language.

We do not replace the evaluation committee. We test whether a later reader could follow the work without relying on memory.

Who it is for

Evaluation chairs, company secretaries, and internal auditors who need the paper trail to match the recommendation.

What you receive

A trail map (who scored what, on which date, against which criteria) and a list of breaks: unsigned sheets, altered totals, criteria used that were not published.
