Supplier decisions you can defend.

Fix the criteria before the bids are opened, keep every evaluator’s assessment, and route the award to the people with authority, so the decision holds up at debrief, audit and renewal.

How it fits

Requirements and sourcing plan

Frame the purchase as a decision: the need, the constraints, the budget envelope and the bids in scope.

Evaluation criteria

Agree the criteria before any bid is opened, so every bid is assessed on the same basis.

Bid evaluation and clarifications

Evaluators record their assessments; finance, legal and AI question hidden costs, single-source exposure and claims without evidence.

Award recommendation

Route the recommendation to the people with authority to award, with conflicts of interest declared.

Award, debrief and renewal

Keep bids, assessments, approvals and reasons together for supplier debriefs, audits and the next renewal.

Questions

Who can see the bids?

Only the people you invite. Logs are private to you and your invitees unless you choose to publish them, and the owner decides who can edit and who can only view.

Can we weight the criteria?

No. In prorso every criterion counts once, so the discussion is about what matters rather than about tuning weights. If your policy requires a weighted score, attach the scoring sheet to the decision.

How do we show the award was fair?

The criteria, each assessment, the challenges raised and the approvals stay in the decision’s history, in the order they happened.

Does it replace our e-sourcing tool?

No. Run the tender where you run it today. prorso holds the evaluation and the award decision, with the documents attached.
