Options

• ABenefit-cost analysis
• BScreening system
• CWeighting system
• DPreferred vendor list

• A
  5% (1)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  91% (20)

Explanation

A weighting system assigns numerical weights or points to predefined evaluation criteria (e.g., technical capability, price, experience) to score and rank vendors objectively. This reduces personal bias and allows for a structured comparison. It differs from: a screening system (which eliminates vendors that fail to meet minimum thresholds), a benefit-cost analysis (which compares total benefits against total costs), and a preferred vendor list (a pre-approved list of vendors).
