BID TABULATION TEMPLATE

Instructions to Issuing Officer: this sample template may be used during the evaluation process for Request for Quotes (RFQs) to document the results of the bid evaluation. The issuing officer may use a document developed by the State Entity or a modified version of the “Administrative Review” tab of SPD-EP001 Administrative Review Requirements Summary Sheet. If using this sample template, please edit as needed to correspond with your RFQ requirements and award scenario. The finalized document (or similar document) should be published with the Notice of Intent to Award or Notice of Award (whichever comes first) to satisfy the requirement to provide public inspection of the recording of all bids received conforming to the solicitation.

*Unless SPD grants a written exception, all state entities are required to conduct competitive sealed bidding through approved sourcing tools such as Team Georgia Marketplace™ and eSource/Jaggaer. These systems will not allow a supplier to submit a bid/proposal once the solicitation closing date/time has passed.

**By submitting a response via Team Georgia Marketplace™ or eSource/Jaggaer, suppliers automatically agree to the certificate of non-collusion and must also certify that they are not a scrutinized company. If conducting through another sourcing tool with SPD approval, the issuing officer may use form SPD-SP012 Certificate of Non-Collusion to obtain the certification and SPD-SP042 Supplier General Information Worksheet.

Second Phase of Evaluation:
