The Proposal Evaluation Team compares the relative value offered by each proposal to the competition. This comparison of proposals is extremely important. It must describe the differences between proposals and assess the value of the differences or the impact the differences will have on the Postal Service.
The Proposal Evaluation Team presents its findings to the purchase/SCM team in a written report with narrative statements identifying the major strengths and weaknesses of the various proposals. The report will be used to help the purchase/SCM team conduct discussions and potential negotiations so that the supplier(s) offering the best value to the Postal Service are selected.
