Scoring teams are groups of individuals who collectively evaluate a particular aspect of a negotiation based on their area of knowledge or expertise. Once the scoring teams have evaluated responses to a negotiation's Requirements, they provide a score value. Individual members' scores are used to determine a team score. This score is combined with scores from any other scoring teams and used along with the price to determine the winner of that negotiation line.
All scoring team members must be defined to the Collaboration Team for that negotiation. Scoring teams can be included as part of a negotiation template.
See Working with Collaboration Teams for details on Collaboration Teams.
To define a scoring team:
On the Create: negotiation page, define the member to the Collaboration Team. Give them either Full or Score access.
In the Requirements area of the page, click Select Scoring Settings.
Click Enable Team Scoring, if it is not already selected.
Click Add Another Row.
Give the team a name. You can optionally enter instructions to the team members.
If you deselect the Price Visibility checkbox, members of the team will not be able to view the pricing information offered by the supplier on the line. (The Price Visibility option can be changed any time before the award is completed.)
Click the pencil icon to add members to the team.
On the Scoring Team page, click Add Another Row.
Open the Name menu. The menu lists all members of the Collaboration Team who have either Full or Score access.
Select the member to add to the team.
Continue adding members to your scoring team until all appropriate members have been added. Note that the same member can appear on more than one team.
Click Apply.
To assign a scoring team to a Requirements section:
When you are returned to the Select Scoring Settings page, the Section column in the Section Assignment area lists all Requirement sections defined for the negotiation. Click the Team Assignment menu.
Select the appropriate scoring team and associate it with its Requirements section.
Click Apply.
