Decision trail retainedDashboard · Events in view
The sourcing problem
The spreadsheet compares bids. It does not govern the event.
Sourcing teams need consistent requirements, controlled supplier communication, comparable responses and an evaluation trail that survives challenge after award.
Requirements split across documents
Suppliers answer different interpretations of the same event.
Supplier communication becomes a separate email trail
Questions, answers and amendments are difficult to distribute consistently when they sit outside the event record.
Evaluation becomes spreadsheet reconciliation
Scores, evidence and commercial comparisons drift apart.
One event record
Structure the market interaction from requirement to award.
Build
Create requirements, schedules, response formats and evaluation criteria.
Invite
Issue the event, communicate with suppliers and keep questions, answers and amendments attached to the event.
Compare
Compare commercial schedules in CherryPicker, then use EVA for document-heavy technical responses and source-cited evaluation.
Award
Retain recommendation, approvals and the reason for the decision.
One response set, two focused products
Run the event in CherryPicker. Evaluate the evidence in EVA.
CherryPicker governs requirements, supplier communication, submissions and commercial comparison. For document-heavy responses, take the response set into EVA to map answers to requirements, surface gaps and keep every finding connected to source evidence.
Explore EVA
Comparable by design
Make suppliers answer the same commercial question.
Structured schedules preserve the detail required for like-for-like comparison while keeping assumptions, exclusions and alternative offers visible.
