Free bid/no-bid scorecard

A spreadsheet scorecard for Excel or Google Sheets, for deciding whether an RFP is worth your team’s time, before anyone starts writing.

What’s inside

  • Four deal-breaker questions first. Any “No” means no-bid, whatever the score says
  • Ten criteria under five questions: can we win it, is it worth winning, can we deliver it, what will it cost us to bid, what can go wrong
  • A plain guide to what a 1 and a 5 look like on every criterion, and weights you can change
  • A score out of 100 and a clear result: bid, close call or no-bid

Want the thinking behind it? Read our Bid/No-Bid Guide.
