Evidence readiness checklist.

Relevant case study

One similar buyer, problem, outcome, dates and measurable result.

Assurance and policies

Cyber, data protection, health and safety, social value, ISO, DSPT or sector-specific proof where required.

Delivery ownership

Named delivery lead, mobilisation plan, review owner and escalation route.

Commercial assumptions

Volumes, service levels, dependencies, exclusions, margin and risk owners agreed before pricing.

How to use the score.

  • Ready: proceed to bid/no-bid scoring.
  • Partial: clarify before drafting.
  • Weak: skip unless there is a strategic reason to build proof.
