How to Run a Proposal Evaluation That Holds Up Under Challenge is a practical session on how procurement teams are running evaluations that are consistent, documented, and designed to hold up.

Proposal evaluations are where awards get challenged. Not because procurement teams make bad decisions, but because the process leaves room for inconsistency — different evaluators applying the same criteria differently, justifications that were never captured, scores that can’t be explained after the fact.

Most teams don’t discover the problem until it matters. A vendor files a protest. Leadership asks for documentation. The answers are harder to produce than they should be.

This free OpenGov webinar walks participants how procurement teams are closing the gap between how evaluations are run and how they hold up under scrutiny — with a focus on scoring consistency, documentation practices, and the specific steps that reduce protest risk without slowing down awards.

Learning Objectives:

• Why scoring inconsistency happens — and what causes it
• How to build scoring frameworks that hold up when decisions are challenged
• What strong evaluation documentation actually looks like before and after award
• How to move from scoring to award faster without cutting corners on defensibility
