Tip

A To achieve procurement objectives, a good answer to an important criterion must be weighted more highly than a good answer to a trivial criterion in order to achieve procurement objectives criterion

360 uses comparison-of-importance (this criterion is relatively more important than that criterion) in its underlying algorithms to determine the best value for money.

In short, the important criterion must have a higher relative weight then the trivial criterion.

Info

Relative weighting is applied to both questions and sections.

The executive team should identify importance at a macro level (section weightings)
For example: "Environmental Management" may be equally important as "Community Consultation" and only half as important as "Structural Integrity", so the sections' relative weights would be 5, 5, 10 (or a similar ratio)
The subject matter experts should identify importance at a micro-level (question weightings)
For example: "Spill Containment Measures" may maybe not be not quite twice as important as "Dust Containment Measures", so the questions' relative weights would be 18, 10 (or a similar ratio)

Don't be tempted to use percentages. Relative weights are far easier to work with than percentages, and 360 will calculate percentages for you.
