The Scoring Analysis tab brings together every scorer's marks so you can compare suppliers overall, by section or questionnaire, and by scorer. Open a sourcing activity from Sourcing > eSourcing and click Scoring Analysis.

Before you start

Only users who can view the sourcing activity can see its scoring analysis. Scoring needs the Sourcing Plus plan, and the tab only appears if the activity includes supplier sections or supplier questionnaires. Results appear as soon as scorers submit, so you can check them during or after scoring.

What's on the page

Area

What it shows

Weighted Scoring By Criteria For This Activity

Only when the activity uses weighted scoring. Each scoring area (sections, questionnaires and pricing) with its weighting and each supplier's weighted score. A banner names the supplier that currently has scored highest across all scoring areas. Use Suppliers to choose which suppliers to compare.

Supplier Sections Scoring Analysis

Overall Supplier Section Score (each supplier's total), Score By Supplier Section (each section) and Score By Scorer (each scorer's marks, filtered with Scorers).

In a Score By Scorer table, choose the scorer in Scorers.

Click the eye icon

Click the eye icon next to a supplier's % score. You'll see how that scorer marked each question or section, with their comments.

How pricing is scored

If the activity requested pricing and weights it, pricing appears as its own row in Weighted Scoring By Criteria For This Activity. oboloo scores it automatically from each supplier's total cost: a supplier quoting the average total scores half the pricing weighting, cheaper suppliers score more and more expensive ones less.

💡 Example: Pricing is weighted at 20% and the average total quote is £10,000. A supplier quoting £8,000 is 20% below average, so they score 3 out of 5 for pricing, which is 12 of the 20 percentage points.

💡 Tip: A high overall score doesn't always mean the best fit. Check the section and questionnaire scores to make sure your top supplier meets your must-have requirements.

Common questions

Why don't I see the weighted scoring table?

The activity doesn't use weighted scoring, which only applies when there's more than one area to score. You'll still see the section and questionnaire analysis.

Two scorers gave very different scores. What should I do?

Use Score By Scorer and the eye icon to compare their marks and comments, then discuss with them. If a score needs changing, use Reopen Scoring on Scoring Management. It's available while the scorer is Incomplete or after the supplier resubmits.

Can scores change after the activity is awarded?

No. Once a supplier is awarded, scoring is closed and the analysis stays as it is.
