When a consensus evaluation is used, the average score does not apply because the consensus evaluation overrides individual evaluations.
The scores given by the Consensus Evaluator will be used in VFM (Value for Money) algorithm to rank the each provider
Step-by-step guide

Score and Risk are used in VFM (Value for Money) algorithm to rank the each provider. To learn more about VFM algorithm, see: How does the VFM (value for money) algorithm work in 360?
Note: Score drop-down may not be available for some questions. It is up-to the Request Manager to enable or disable the score option for each question for evaluators' to evaluate. For example: If there is a question where it is asked to the providers' to provide their ABN. It is silly to set the score option for this question so the Request Manager can disable the Score option when configuring this question
