Immediate consensus evaluation in conjunction with oral presentations or a reading of the proposal.
The evaluation team reads the proposal (or attends the oral presentation) and then, as a group, evaluates the proposal and immediately documents the evaluation decision in real time before starting the evaluation of the next proposal.
- Individual evaluation reports, prior to consensus, can unnecessarily delay the evaluation timeline and increase the risk of including individual findings, not intended to be supported by the consensus team, in the consensus evaluation report
- Keeps documentation clear to support the decision and not deliberations
- SMALL BUSINESS BENEFIT: Reduced evaluation time puts less burden on small businesses waiting for award results
